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

rationaleCognitive deficits are common in schizophrenia. Asenapine is an atypical antipsychotic approved by the US Food and Drug Administration in adults for treatment of schizophrenia or acute treatment, as monotherapy or adjunct therapy to lithium or valproate, of manic or mixed episodes of bipolar I disorder.

objectivesBased on the receptor pharmacology of asenapine, the current study assessed the efficacy and mechanism of action of asenapine to improve a subchronic phencyclidine (PCP)-induced deficit in visual recognition memory using the novel object recognition (NOR) paradigm in the rat, a paradigm of relevance to cognition in schizophrenia.

methodsFemale-hooded Lister rats received vehicle or PCP (2 mg/kg, i.p.) for 7 days, followed by a 7-day washout. On the test day, rats were given asenapine (0.001-0.1 mg/kg, s.c.) alone or in combination with the D(1) receptor antagonist SCH-23390 (0.05 mg/kg, i.p.) or 5-HT(1A) receptor antagonist WAY100635 (1 mg/kg, i.p.). Time spent exploring two identical objects during a 3-min acquisition trial (followed by a 1-min intertrial interval) and then a familiar and a novel object for another 3 min (retention trial) were recorded onto videotape and scored blind.

resultsIn the retention trial, vehicle- but not PCP-treated animals explored the novel object significantly more than the familiar object (p < 0.001). Asenapine (0.01-0.075 mg/kg) reversed PCP-induced deficits in NOR (p < 0.01-0.001) in a dose-related manner. This effect was antagonised by SCH-23390 but not by WAY100635.

conclusionsThese results demonstrate a role for D(1) but not 5-HT(1A) receptor mechanisms in mediating the cognitive effects of asenapine in this rodent model.
