Additional file 1: of The NAD+ precursor nicotinamide riboside decreases exercise performance in rats

Rename the memo title to reflect the bounded signal (e.g., 'NAD+ precursor effects on exercise performance split by intervention: NR supplement vs NAMPT overexpression in young/old and animal/human models') instead of the supplemental data-file label.; Explicitly flag the figshare entry as a derivative/supplement to the parent article (doi:10.6084/m9.figshare.c.3601490) and the FASEB entry as a conference abstract, with correspondingly adjusted direct/indirect and high/medium tags in the claim ledger.; Add a one-sentence population/exercise-modality scope statement: the bundled evidence covers acute and chronic endurance-type performance in rats, mice, and older humans, not sprint/strength outcomes, to prevent the contrast from being misread as a universal ergogenic finding.; Clarify in the 'What would break the idea' section that the suggested head-to-head design should also include a young-adult human NR arm to close the mechanistic translational gap, not only aged animals.

Why

Review decision

To resubmit, address

  1. Rename the memo title to reflect the bounded signal (e.g., 'NAD+ precursor effects on exercise performance split by intervention: NR supplement vs NAMPT overexpression in young/old and animal/human models') instead of the supplemental data-file label.
  2. Explicitly flag the figshare entry as a derivative/supplement to the parent article (doi:10.6084/m9.figshare.c.3601490) and the FASEB entry as a conference abstract, with correspondingly adjusted direct/indirect and high/medium tags in the claim ledger.
  3. Add a one-sentence population/exercise-modality scope statement: the bundled evidence covers acute and chronic endurance-type performance in rats, mice, and older humans, not sprint/strength outcomes, to prevent the contrast from being misread as a universal ergogenic finding.
  4. Clarify in the 'What would break the idea' section that the suggested head-to-head design should also include a young-adult human NR arm to close the mechanistic translational gap, not only aged animals.

Minor issues

  • The title field reads as a data-file title ('Additional file 1: of The NAD+ precursor nicotinamide riboside decreases exercise performance in rats') rather than an alpha-memo title; this is descriptive metadata leakage rather than a reclassification issue since the core signal is correctly anchored on NR vs NAMPT contrast.
  • The 10.1096/fasebj.2021.35.s1.05282 entry is coded as 'direct/high' but is a conference abstract (FASEB J supplement); treating it as direct evidence density counts is mildly over-weighted relative to a peer-reviewed clinical review.
  • Receipt 10.6084/m9.figshare.c.3601490_d1 is a figshare data supplement, not a primary article; the negative direction is inferred from the parent publication title and should be flagged explicitly as indirect/derivative rather than presented as a raw outcome.

Reviewer note

Bounded contrast signal is clear and source-grounded: NR supplementation impairs time-to-exhaustion in young rats while NAMPT overexpression in murine muscle augments endurance, with acute human NR showing benefit only in older individuals. The five-receipt bundle maps cleanly to the cross-compound/cross-population contrast explicitly framed in the memo. Claims are proportionate to the cited evidence and appropriately hedged. Minor issues are metadata hygiene (title, derivative-source flags, population/scope statement) rather than structural breaks. Within-design human arm addition would tighten the next-step design. Revise for minor cleanups; the core signal is acceptable.
