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

Two experiments using rats evaluated the susceptibility of CS preexposure to retrograde amnesia induced by the protein synthesis inhibitor cycloheximide and tested whether amnesia for CS preexposure shares similar characteristics with amnesia for other memories. In Experiment 1, rats received cycloheximide either immediately, 60 minutes, or 120 minutes after preexposure. Following preexposure, rats received fear conditioning. When later tested, the subjects that received the amnestic treatment shortly after preexposure showed no CS preexposure effect (i.e., no reduction of fear). The amnesia for CS preexposure was attenuated with longer post-preexposure delays, showing a temporal gradient. In Experiment 2, following the replication of amnesia for CS preexposure, the amnestic treatment was readministered to the rats prior to testing. It was demonstrated that the amnestic-preexposure memory could be recovered (i.e., readministration of the drug alleviated the amnesia for CS preexposure). These two experiments show that memories for CS preexposure are susceptible to retrograde amnesia and share similar characteristics with memories for original acquisition and extinction. The results are explained using a retrieval hypothesis of retrograde amnesia.
