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

Long duration of anesthesia may induce toxicity in the developing brain. However, little is known about the effects of the combination of surgery and anesthesia on the developing brain. The mechanisms for the effects are not clear. To determine these effects, postnatal day 7 male and female Sprague-Dawley rats were exposed to 3% sevoflurane for 2 h with or without right common carotid exposure. Pyrrolidine dithiocarbamate (PDTC), an anti-inflammatory agent, was given 30 min before and 6 h after the carotid exposure. Anti-glial cell-derived neurotrophic factor (GDNF) antibody or GDNF was given at the end of sevoflurane exposure. We found that anesthesia-surgery induced learning and memory impairment assessed by Barnes maze and fear conditioning. Anesthesia-surgery also induced neuroinflammation and reduced the level of glial cell-derived neurotrophic factor (GDNF, 10.6 ± 0.6 pg/mg protein of control rats vs. 7.7 ± 0.4 pg/mg protein of anesthesia-surgery rats, n = 17, p = 0.007) and neurogenesis in the hippocampus. PDTC inhibited these surgical effects (GDNF level 9.7 ± 0.6 pg/mg protein of anesthesia-surgery plus PDTC rats, n = 17, p = 0.763 vs. control rats). Intracerebroventricular injection of an anti-GDNF antibody but not its heat-inactivated form induced learning and memory impairment in control rats. Intracerebroventricular injection of GDNF attenuated learning and memory impairment after anesthesia-surgery. We conclude that anesthesia-surgery in neonatal rats induces neuroinflammation, which then leads to a decreased level of GDNF and neurogenesis in the hippocampus and cognitive impairment. GDNF decrease plays an important role in anesthesia-surgery-induced cognitive impairment. KEY MESSAGE: Anesthesia-surgery in neonatal rats induces neuroinflammation. Neuroinflammation leads to decreased levels of GDNF. Neuroinflammation reduces hippocampal neurogenesis and induces cognitive impairment. GDNF decrease is important for anesthesia-surgery-induced cognitive impairment.
