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

Objective: This study evaluates age- and sex-related differences in brain volume, including normalized gray matter (nGM), normalized white matter (nWM), cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) volume, and total intracranial volume (TIV) in cognitively normal adults using automatic volume segmentation on 3.0 Tesla MRI. Methods: A prospective cross-sectional study conducted from October 2021 to September 2022 included 110 cognitively normal participants. They were divided into younger (18-35 years) and older (60-80 years) groups. Brain MRI were performed at Bach Mai Hospital, and volumetric analysis utilized automated segmentation software (Quantib™ Brain, GE Healthcare). Differences in brain volumes were analyzed by age and sex. Results: The younger group comprised 57 participants (30 females, 27 males; mean age 28), and the older group comprised 51 participants (32 females, 19 males; mean age 66). nGM was significantly higher in younger than older groups ( Conclusion: This preliminary study suggests potential age- and sex-related differences in brain volume indices among cognitively normal Vietnamese adults. Additional studies with larger and more representative populations are warranted to confirm and expand upon these findings.
