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

Background: Radiomics-based morphological brain networks (radMBN) constructed from routinely acquired structural MRI (sMRI) data have gained attention in Alzheimer's disease (AD). However, the radMBN suffers from limited characterization of AD because sMRI only characterizes anatomical changes and is not a direct measure of neuronal pathology or brain activity. Purpose: To establish a group sparse representation of the radMBN under a joint constraint of group-level white matter fiber connectivity and individual-level sMRI regional similarity (JCGS-radMBN). Methods: Two publicly available datasets were adopted, including 120 subjects from ADNI with both T1-weighted image (T1WI) and diffusion MRI (dMRI) for JCGS-radMBN construction, 818 subjects from ADNI and 200 subjects solely with T1WI from AIBL for validation in early AD diagnosis. Specifically, the JCGS-radMBN was conducted by jointly estimating non-zero connections among subjects, with the regularization term constrained by group-level white matter fiber connectivity and individual-level sMRI regional similarity. Then, a triplet graph convolutional network was adopted for early AD diagnosis. The discriminative brain connections were identified using a two-sample t-test, and the neurobiological interpretation was validated by correlating the discriminative brain connections with cognitive scores. Results: The JCGS-radMBN exhibited superior classification performance over five brain network construction methods. For the typical NC vs. AD classification, the JCGS-radMBN increased by 1-30% in accuracy over the alternatives on ADNI and AIBL. The discriminative brain connections exhibited a strong connectivity to hippocampus, parahippocampal gyrus, and basal ganglia, and had significant correlation with MMSE scores. Conclusion: The proposed JCGS-radMBN facilitated the AD characterization of brain network established on routinely acquired imaging modality of sMRI.
