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

The heterogeneity of brain aging is a hallmark of neurological and psychiatric disorders, yet machine-learning tools used to characterize this process, including the 'brain age' paradigm, have largely relied on global metrics that lack the specificity to map these complex patterns. Here, we introduce BrainAgeMap, an interpretable deep learning framework that generates fine-grained, voxel-wise maps of brain-predicted age difference (brain-PAD) from T1-weighted magnetic resonance imaging scans. We provide converging lines of evidence for the framework's clinical, prognostic, and neurobiological utility. Disorder-specific topographies of accelerated aging were identified in Alzheimer's disease (AD), frontotemporal dementia, and schizophrenia. Longitudinal analysis of the hippocampus revealed accelerated aging in individuals with progressive versus stable mild cognitive impairment (MCI), demonstrating prognostic value. Regional brain-PAD in the temporal lobe correlated strongly with
