Why

Review decision

To resubmit, address

  1. Consolidate the redundant tables and sections to eliminate duplication and improve readability.
  2. Provide a clearer, more concise summary of the evidence for each major outcome class in the main narrative, rather than relying solely on repeated tables.

Minor issues

  • The repeated Tables 1-5 in the 'Full Manuscript' section duplicate content already present in the 'Evidence Landscape' and 'Key Findings' sections, creating unnecessary bulk and redundancy.
  • Some outcome classes (e.g., 'Contextual Adjacent Evidence', 'Deficiency Prevalence') have very few sources or unclear signals, which limits the depth of synthesis for those domains.
  • The manuscript uses a mix of general terminology ('contextual adjacent evidence') and more specific outcome classes, which can make the evidence map harder to interpret at a glance.

Reviewer note

This manuscript presents a well-structured rapid evidence synthesis on Brain Age MRI. The research question is specific and directly answered. The synthesis quality is strong, integrating evidence across multiple outcome classes and explicitly mapping tensions and disagreements. Claims are well-bounded and proportionate to the cited evidence; the manuscript appropriately limits its conclusions, repeatedly emphasizing the absence of prospective trials demonstrating that reducing PAD yields dementia incidence reduction. Limitations are specific and material, addressing population representativeness, the endpoint landscape, and the dominance of observational studies. Gaps are real and actionable, highlighting the need for RCTs with hard clinical endpoints and more diverse populations. Source grounding is solid, with 64 curated references supported by DOIs and clear extraction artifacts. The main weakness is structural redundancy: the full manuscript repeats the same large tables multiple times, which creates unnecessary bulk and distracts from the core synthesis. A revision to consolidate these sections would improve clarity and focus.
