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

Central norepinephrine signaling influences a wide range of behavioral and physiological processes, and the ventral bed nucleus of the stria terminalis (vBNST) receives some of the densest norepinephrine innervation in the brain. Previous work describes norepinephrine neurons as projecting primarily unilaterally; however, recent evidence for cross-hemispheric catecholamine signaling challenges this idea. Here, we use fast-scan cyclic voltammetry and retrograde tracing to characterize cross-hemispheric norepinephrine signaling in the vBNST. We delivered stimulations to noradrenergic pathways originating in the A1/A2 and locus coeruleus and found hemispherically equivalent norepinephrine release in the vBNST regardless of stimulated hemisphere. Unilateral retrograde tracing revealed that medullary, but not locus coeruleus norepinephrine neurons send cross-hemispheric projections to the vBNST. Further characterization with pharmacological lesions revealed that stimulations of the locus coeruleus and its axon bundles likely elicit vBNST norepinephrine release through indirect activation. These experiments are the first to demonstrate contralateral norepinephrine release and establish that medullary, but not coerulean neurons are responsible for norepinephrine release in the vBNST.
