Review in Journal of neural transmission (Vienna, Austria : 1996), 2014. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 7 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled it.

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

Acetylcholine, glutamate, dopamine, serotonin (5-HT), gamma-aminobutyric acid, substance P (SP), amyloid-β (Aβ) and neurotrophic protein S100B are arguably the most important cognition-related biomarkers in the brain. Among this list are five neurotransmitters that signal through postsynaptic receptors. Our knowledge of cognition-related biomarkers has been advanced through translational experiments and clinical case-study data. Although these biomarkers are widespread in the brain and pronounced individual variations exist, these biomarkers can be used to identify both acute and chronic abnormalities following traumatic brain injury. Changes in these biomarkers likely indicate damage to brain networks or to key brain cell types that support cognitive functions. Identification of such biomarker abnormalities could result in earlier diagnoses, improved prognoses and therapies that enable neurotransmitters to return to normal levels.
