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

In animal models, serotonin (5-HT) activity contributes to stress-induced changes in behavior. Syrian hamsters (Mesocricetus auratus) exhibit a stress-induced change in behavior in which social defeat results in increased submissive and defensive behavior and a complete loss of normal territorial aggression directed toward a novel, non-aggressive opponent. We refer to this defeat-induced change in agonistic behavior as conditioned defeat. In this study we tested the hypothesis that 5-HT activity in the dorsal raphe nucleus (DRN) contributes to the acquisition and expression of conditioned defeat. We investigated whether injection of the selective 5-HT1A agonist flesinoxan (200 ng, 400 ng, or 800 ng in 200 nl saline) into the DRN would reduce the acquisition and expression of conditioned defeat. Additionally, we investigated whether injection of the selective 5-HT1A antagonist WAY 100635 (400 ng in 200 nl saline) into the DRN would enhance the acquisition and expression of conditioned defeat following a sub-optimal social defeat experience. We found that injection of flesinoxan into the DRN before exposure to a 15-min social defeat reduced the amount of submissive and defensive behavior shown at testing. We also found that injection of flesinoxan into the DRN before testing similarly reduced submissive and defensive behavior. In addition, we found that WAY 100635 enhanced conditioned defeat when injected either before social defeat or before testing. These data support the hypothesis that the activity of 5-HT cells in the DRN, as regulated by 5-HT1A autoreceptors, contributes to the formation and display of conditioned defeat. Further, our results suggest that 5-HT release in DRN projection regions augments defeat-induced changes in social behavior.
