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

rationaleSpatial and novel object recognition learning is different from learning that uses aversive or appetitive stimuli to shape acquisition because no overt contingencies are needed. While this type of learning occurs on a daily basis, little is known about how nicotine administration affects it.

objectivesTo determine the effects of acute, chronic, and withdrawal from chronic nicotine on two related but distinct incidental learning tasks, novel and spatial object recognition.

methodsIn C57BL/6J mice, the effects of acute (0.045-0.18 mg/kg), chronic (6.3 mg/kg/day), and withdrawal from chronic nicotine on novel and spatial object recognition were examined.

resultsWith a 48-h delay between training and testing, acute nicotine enhanced spatial (difference score, saline = 3.34 s, nicotine = 7.71 s, p = 0.029) but resulted in a deficit in novel object recognition (difference score, saline = 8.76 s, nicotine = 4.48 s, p = 0.033). Chronic nicotine resulted in a strong trend towards a deficit in spatial object recognition (difference score, saline = 4.01 s, nicotine = 1.81 s, p = 0.059) but had no effect on novel object recognition, and withdrawal from chronic nicotine disrupted spatial object recognition (difference score, saline = 3.00 s, nicotine = 0.17 s, p = 0.004) but had no effect on novel object recognition.

conclusionsThe effects of nicotine on spatial object recognition shift from enhancement to deficit as administration changes from acute to chronic and withdrawal. These effects were specific for spatial object recognition, which may be due to differing underlying neural substrates involved in these tasks. Understanding how nicotine alters learning has implications for understanding diseases associated with altered cholinergic function.
