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

Brain activation studies in humans have shown the dynamic nature of neuronal N-acetylaspartate (NAA) and N-acetylaspartylglutamate (NAAG) based on changes in their MRS signals in response to stimulation. These studies demonstrated that upon visual stimulation there was a focal increase in cerebral blood flow (CBF) and a decrease in NAA or in the total of NAA and NAAG signals in the visual cortex, and that these changes were reversed upon cessation of stimulation. In the present study we have developed an animal model in order to explore the relationships between brain stimulation, neuronal activity, CBF and NAA. We use "designer receptor exclusively activated by designer drugs" (DREADDs) technology for site-specific neural activation, a local field potential electrophysiological method for measurement of changes in the rate of neuronal activity, functional MRS for measurement of changes in NAA and a blood oxygenation level-dependent (BOLD) MR technique for evaluating changes in CBF. We show that stimulation of the rat prefrontal cortex using DREADDs results in the following: (i) an increase in level of neuronal activity; (ii) an increase in BOLD and (iii) a decrease in the NAA signal. These findings show for the first time the tightly coupled relationships between stimulation, neuron activity, CBF and NAA dynamics in brain, and also provide the first demonstration of the novel inverse stimulation-NAA phenomenon in an animal model.
