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

Impaired neural synchronization is a hallmark of psychotic conditions such as schizophrenia. It has been proposed that schizophrenia-related cognitive deficits are caused by an unbalance of reciprocal inhibitory and stimulatory signaling. This supposedly leads to decreased power of induced gamma oscillations during the performance of cognitive tasks. In light of this hypothesis an efficient antipsychotic treatment should modify the connectivity and synchronization of local neural circuits. To address this issue, we investigated a model of hippocampal neuronal networks in vitro. Inhibitory and excitatory innervation of GABAergic and glutamatergic neurons was quantified using immunocytochemical markers and an automated routine to estimate network connectivity. The first generation (FGA) and second generation (SGA) antipsychotic drugs haloperidol and olanzapine, respectively, differentially modified the density of synaptic inputs. Based on the observed synapse density modifications, we developed a computational model that reliably predicted distinct changes in network activity patterns. The results of computational modeling were confirmed by spontaneous network activity measurements using the multiple electrode array (MEA) technique. When the cultures were treated with olanzapine, overall activity and synchronization were increased, whereas haloperidol had the opposite effect. We conclude that FGAs and SGAs differentially affect the balance between inhibition and excitation in hippocampal networks.
