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

We studied the effect of long-term application of corticosterone (CORT) s.c. the equivalent of cortisol in rats, on behavior, oxidative and energy metabolism in brain parietotemporal cortex and hippocampus of 1-year-old male Wistar rats. The data were compared with results derived from long-term and low dose intracerebroventricular application of the diabetogenic drug streptozotocin (STZ) known to inhibit the function of the neuronal insulin receptor and generating an insulin resistant brain state. CORT reduced both working and reference memory increasingly with time and running parallel to the STZ-induced deficit. The effect of CORT on the activities of the glycolytic enzymes hexokinase, phosphofructokinase, pyruvate kinase, glyceraldehyde-3-phosphodehydrogenase, lactate dehydrogenase and, in tricarboxylic acid cycle, alpha-ketoglutarate dehydrogenase equaled in both experimental conditions and in both regions studied: significant decreases of all enzyme activities except lactate dehydrogenase which increased between three and fourfold of normal. The CORT- and STZ-induced marked fall in ATP was in the same range in the regions studied. Differences became obvious in the concentration of creatine phosphate in parietotemporal cerebral cortex showing no decrease after CORT obviously due to a different susceptibility of the CORT-receptor. It is discussed that both CORT and STZ may act on the neuronal insulin receptor in a similar way. However, further studies are needed on the gene expression of insulin and the insulin receptor and its protein levels to clarify the exact action of CORT on the neuronal insulin receptor function.
