1 · What the graph read from it

What it found

Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.

The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.

2 · The registry

The trial behind it

Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.

Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract

Alzheimer's disease (AD) remains a significant global health challenge, affecting millions worldwide and imposing substantial burdens on healthcare systems. Advances in artificial intelligence (AI), particularly in deep learning and machine learning, have revolutionized neuroimaging-based AD diagnosis. However, the complexity and lack of interpretability of these models limit their clinical applicability. Explainable Artificial Intelligence (XAI) addresses this challenge by providing insights into model decision-making, enhancing transparency, and fostering trust in AI-driven diagnostics. This review explores the role of XAI in AD neuroimaging, highlighting key techniques such as SHAP, LIME, Grad-CAM, and Layer-wise Relevance Propagation (LRP). We examine their applications in identifying critical biomarkers, tracking disease progression, and distinguishing AD stages using various imaging modalities, including MRI and PET. Additionally, we discuss current challenges, including dataset limitations, regulatory concerns, and standardization issues, and propose future research directions to improve XAI's integration into clinical practice. By bridging the gap between AI and clinical interpretability, XAI holds the potential to refine AD diagnostics, personalize treatment strategies, and advance neuroimaging-based research.
