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

rationaleGlutamatergic abnormalities are involved in the etiology of schizophrenia. Clinical evidence demonstrates that positive modulation of "glycine modulatory sites" on N-methyl-D: -aspartic acid (NMDA) receptors improve cognitive deficits as well as positive and negative symptoms in schizophrenic patients.

objectivesIn the present study, we investigated the effects of positive modulation of glycine sites on the NMDA receptor using an agonist of the glycine modulatory site, D: -serine, and a glycine transporter-1 inhibitor, (R)-(N-[3-(4'-fluorophenyl)-3-(4'-phenylphenoxy)propyl])sarcosine (NFPS). In particular, we focused on the effects on cognitive functioning using social recognition test in rats. We then compared these effects with those of an atypical antipsychotic clozapine and a typical antipsychotic haloperidol.

resultsBoth D: -serine and NFPS significantly enhanced social memory in naïve rats, as did clozapine, while the typical antipsychotic haloperidol was ineffective. A noncompetitive NMDA receptor antagonist, MK-801, significantly impaired social memory, which was significantly attenuated by pretreatment with clozapine, but not with haloperidol. Likewise, NFPS significantly improved MK-801-disrupted cognition in the social recognition test. None of these drugs affected social interaction time.

conclusionsThe present results show that stimulation of the glycine modulatory sites on the NMDA receptor either directly with D: -serine or by blocking glycine transporter-1 enhances social memory and may be an effective approach for the treatment of the cognitive dysfunction observed in schizophrenic patients.
