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: The Voxel-based Specific Regional Analysis System for Alzheimer's Disease (VSRAD), a voxel-based morphometry tool quantifying medial temporal lobe atrophy as region-specific Methods: In this retrospective single-center study, MRI data from 75 patients were analyzed using both standard 3D T1-weighted images and SynthSR-generated 3D volumes reconstructed from 2D T1-weighted sequences. Regional brain volumes and four key Z-score indices from VSRAD were compared using Wilcoxon signed-rank tests with Bonferroni correction, robust Bland-Altman analysis, Spearman's rank correlation, and receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve analysis focusing on Score 1 "Severity." Results: All Z-score indices and segmented volumes showed significant absolute differences between the two methods ( Conclusion: Although SynthSR-based images produced systematically different absolute values, they preserved rank-order correlations and maintained diagnostic performance comparable to that of standard 3D volumes in VSRAD analysis. Considering that conventional 3D acquisitions are often difficult to obtain in elderly patients undergoing dementia screening, SynthSR-based reconstruction may represent a practical alternative in routine clinical practice, particularly for Score 1 "Severity," the most clinically relevant marker of hippocampal atrophy.
