First establishment of population-specific brain volume reference standards for Chinese children and adolescents: an AI-based segmentation study.

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
Objective: To establish the first AI-based, population-specific reference standards for brain structural volumes in healthy Chinese children and adolescents, and to elucidate unique developmental trajectories that may differ from existing Western norms. Methods: In this cross-sectional study, 1,100 healthy participants aged 6-18 years were enrolled. T1-weighted images were acquired using a 3.0T MRI scanner, and regional brain volumes were quantified using an AI-based automated segmentation tool. Multiple comparisons were corrected using the false discovery rate (FDR) method. Differences in brain volume by sex, age, and hemisphere, as well as correlations with age, were analyzed. Results: After controlling for age, males exhibited larger total intracranial volume ( Conclusion: This study is the first to establish reference values for brain volume in healthy Chinese children and adolescents aged 6-18 years using AI-based automated segmentation. It reveals sex- and age-related differences in brain structural development, thereby providing a valuable quantitative reference for future research on brain development deviations. These population-specific standards may provide a theoretical foundation for improving diagnostic accuracy in Chinese children, though their actual utility in reducing misclassification requires future empirical validation.
