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

The anterior thalamic nuclei (ATN) are important for learning and memory as damage to this region produces a persistent amnestic syndrome. Dense connections between the ATN and the hippocampus exist, and importantly, damage to the ATN can impair hippocampal functioning. Acetylcholine (ACh) is a key neurotransmitter in the hippocampus, and in vivo measures of ACh are correlated to learning and memory performance. In the present study, complete lesions of the ATN impaired performance on two measures of hippocampal-dependent learning and memory (spontaneous alternation and delayed alternation) and severely disrupted behaviorally evoked ACh efflux within the hippocampus of adult male rats. In contrast, incomplete ATN lesions did not impair spontaneous alternation performance but did impair delayed alternation performance while blunting hippocampal ACh efflux. Interestingly, ATN lesions of any size did not affect basal concentrations of ACh in the hippocampus. These results demonstrate that the ATN have the capacity to modulate behaviorally relevant neuronal transmission within the hippocampus.
