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

Lateralization is a hallmark of brain organization, yet the structural basis underlying this phenomenon remains a critical, unresolved question in cognitive and systems neuroscience. In this study, we applied multivariate machine learning techniques to investigate variations of global brain asymmetry and their associations with cognitive functions, aging, and aging-related diseases, using large-scale datasets. Our findings revealed substantial and previously unknown structural differences between the hemispheres, and established key associations between structural asymmetries and lateralized functions. At the population level, we identified unique aging trajectories of hemispheric differences and uncovered diagnosis-specific variations in patients with Alzheimer's and Parkinson's disease, and in
