Regulatory Genomic Circuitry of Brain Age by Integrative Functional Genomic Analyses.

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.
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
Brain age gap (BAG) is a valuable biomarker for evaluating brain healthy status and detecting age-associated cognitive degeneration. However, the genetic architecture of BAG and the underlying mechanisms are poorly understood. Here, we estimated brain age from magnetic resonance imaging with improved accuracy using our proposed adversarial convolution network (ACN), and applied the ACN model to an elderly cohort from the UK Biobank. The genetic heritability of BAG was significantly enriched in regulatory regions and implicated in glial cells. We prioritized a set of BAG-associated genes, and further characterized their expression patterns across brain cell types and regions. Two BAG-associated genes, RUNX2 and KLF3, were found to be associated with epigenetic clock and diverse aging-related biological pathways. Finally, two BAG-associated hub transcription factor genes, KLF3 and SOX10, were identified as regulators of pleiotropic risk genes for diverse brain disorders. Altogether, we improve the estimation of BAG, and identify BAG-associated genes and regulatory networks implicated in brain disorders.
