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
Social anxiety disorder (SAD) is among the most prevalent anxiety disorders, and it has been associated with signs of advanced biological ageing. Despite this, brain age research on anxiety disorders remains limited. This mega-analysis investigated brain ageing in adults with SAD within the ENIGMA-Anxiety Working Group. Structural MRI scans from 576 participants with SAD and 1 355 non-affected healthy controls (HCs) across 26 international samples were included. Brain age was estimated from 77 cortical and subcortical regions using a publicly available ENIGMA brain age model. The brain-predicted age difference (brain-PAD) was calculated as the difference between brain age and chronological age. Group and subgroup differences (comorbidity, medication) were assessed using linear mixed-effect models. In the full sample, there was no group difference in brain-PAD (diagnosis (SE)=0.70 (0.37) years,
