Cycloheximide impairs and enhances memory depending on dose and footshock intensity.
Article in Behavioural brain research, 2012. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 6 papers.
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.
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
This experiment examined the effects on memory of interactions of cycloheximide dose and training foot shock intensity. Mice received injections of cycloheximide (120 mg/kg, s.c.) or saline 30 min prior to inhibitory avoidance training with shock intensities of 100, 150, 250 or 300 μA (1 s duration). Memory was tested 48 h later. The saline control mice showed increasing memory latencies as a function of shock intensity. The ability of cycloheximide to impair memory increased as the training shock intensity increased. In a second experiment, mice were trained with a 200 μA (1 s duration) shock and received injections of saline or cycloheximide at one of several doses (30, 60 or 120 mg/kg). Under these training conditions, cycloheximide enhanced memory in an inverted-U dose-response manner. These findings are consistent with prior findings suggesting that protein synthesis inhibitors act on memory by altering modulators of memory formation as a secondary consequence of the inhibition of protein synthesis rather than by interfering with training-initiated synthesis of proteins required for memory formation.
