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

Several lines of evidence have shown that the incidence of cognitive impairment in diabetic patients is significantly higher than that in healthy individuals, but the exact pathogenesis has not been fully elucidated. Furthermore, it has been suggested that leptin may have a therapeutic effect in cognitive dysfunction. The aim of the present study was to observe the effect of leptin on cognitive dysfunction in streptozotocin (STZ)-induced diabetic rats, and to explore whether adenosine monophosphate-activated protein kinase (AMPK) activation was involved in any potential therapeutic effect of leptin. Compared with control rats, STZ rats exhibited decreased levels of AMPK and a poor performance in the Morris water maze, while these changes were reversed by leptin. Furthermore, Compound C, an AMPK antagonist, significantly attenuated the leptin-induced cognitive function improvement in the STZ rats. In conclusion, these results suggest that AMPK activation may play a critical role in the leptin-induced attenuation of STZ-induced cognitive impairment.
