Auto-branch multi-task learning for simultaneous prediction of multiple correlated traits associated with Alzheimer's disease.
Article in Frontiers in genetics, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
Introduction: Correlated phenotypes may have both shared and unique causal factors, and jointly modeling these phenotypes can enhance prediction performance by enabling efficient information transfer. Methods: We propose an auto-branch multi-task learning model within a deep learning framework for the simultaneous prediction of multiple correlated phenotypes. This model dynamically branches from a hard parameter sharing structure to prevent negative information transfer, ensuring that parameter sharing among phenotypes is beneficial. Results: Through simulation studies and analysis of seven Alzheimer's disease-related phenotypes, our method consistently outperformed Multi-Lasso model, single-task learning approaches, and commonly used hard parameter sharing models with predefine shared layers. These analyses also reveal that while genetic contributions across phenotypes are similar, the relative influence of each genetic factor varies substantially among phenotypes.
