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

Glioma frequently induces widespread structural and functional alterations extending beyond the tumor site, with epilepsy being one of its most common clinical manifestations. Conventional brain-age models are rarely applied to neurosurgical diseases because focal structural damage violates the assumption of global anatomical integrity. To address this limitation, we propose a novel Brain Age Index (BAI) that integrates bias-corrected brain-age estimations with chronological-age normalization, computed exclusively from non-tumorous brain regions. Using T1-weighted MRI data from 307 glioma patients across three centers and 671 healthy controls, we trained a residual convolutional neural network model for brain-age prediction (mean absolute error, 3.35 ± 4.19 years) and derived the BAI to quantify systemic cerebral alterations. Glioma patients exhibited significantly higher BAI values than healthy controls (
