The actual work wasn't documented, but we know endpoints ('outcomes') included lifespan & functional tests related to aging.
Some of the substances extended the life of the roundworm "by 33 days", which is roughly a doubling of the worm's lifespan.
She won 2nd prize in her category: microbiology.

ehh that's not nitpicking, there's a big difference between "second in ISEF" (incredibly world-class impressive) and "second in something at some level in ISEF" (still pretty freaking cool)

Let's talk about AOC as a young scientist & her award winning research on antioxidants & C. elegans, a standard roundworm model.
She grew up in the Bronx. Ethnically Puerto Rican, her dad Sergio, an architect, died when she was 19. Her mother cleaned houses, drove a school bus.
Working class.

From AI, AOC’s “ high school science project was on the effect of antioxidants on the lifespan of the nematode Caenorhabditis elegans (a type of roundworm). She won second place in the microbiology category at the 2007 Intel International Science and Engineering Fair (ISEF) for this research.” Dope.
