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

We compared the results of brain magnetic resonance image (MRI) segmentation across a longitudinal dataset spanning mouse adulthood using an atlas-based approach and deep learning. Our results demonstrate that deep learning performs similarly yet faster than more established segmentation methods, even when computational resources are limited. Both methods enabled the large-scale analysis of a cohort of C57Bl6/J healthy mice, revealing sex-dependent morphological differences in the aging brain. These findings highlight the potential use of deep learning for high-throughput, longitudinal neuroimaging studies and underscore the importance of considering sex as a biological variable in preclinical brain research.
