The ASPIRE Research Institute Dataset: Building a Foundation for Brain Health Research in the United Arab Emirates.
Article in Scientific data, 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
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
Since its founding in 1971, the United Arab Emirates (UAE) has experienced rapid population growth, urbanization, and increased life expectancy, leading to a rise in health issues common in developed countries, such as diabetes and cardiovascular disease. These conditions significantly impact brain health, often contributing to perceptual and cognitive deficits. However, the UAE and the broader Middle East and North Africa (MENA) region lack large, controlled normative neuroimaging data to assess these effects on the brain. To address this gap, the ASPIRE Research Institute (ARI) will recruit a cohort of 1000 Emirati citizens and 1000 non-Emirati residents (18-60 years-old) and build a comprehensive brain health dataset. Here we document an initial sample comprising neuroimaging data from 41 participants (23 males, 18 females; mean age = 25.08 ± 7.64 years), made available through the Open Science Framework (OSF) website. We outline the study protocol, including MRI and behavioral data acquisition, data management, and preprocessing workflows. We also provide detailed documentation of the dataset to facilitate use by the research community.
