Neovascularization and Synaptic Function Regulation with Memantine and Rosuvastatin in a Rat Model of Chronic Cerebral Hypoperfusion.
Article in Journal of molecular neuroscience : MN, 2017. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 7 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled 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.
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
Cerebral hypoperfusion is an important factor in the pathogenesis of cerebrovascular diseases and neurodegenerative disorders. We investigated the effects of memantine and rosuvastatin on both neovascularization and synaptic function in a rat model of chronic cerebral hypoperfusion, which was established by the bilateral common carotid occlusion (2VO) method. We tested learning and memory ability, synaptic function, circulating endothelial progenitor cell (EPC) number, expression of neurotrophic factors, and markers of neovasculogenesis and cell proliferation after memantine and/or rosuvastatin treatment. Rats treated with memantine and/or rosuvastatin showed significant improvement in Morris water maze task and long-term potentiation (LTP) in the hippocampus, compared with untreated 2VO model rats. Circulating EPCs, expression of brain-derived neurotrophic factor, and vascular endothelial growth factor, markers of microvessel density were increased by each of the three interventions. Rosuvastatin also increased cell proliferation in the hippocampus. Combined treatment with memantine and rosuvastatin showed greater effect on enhancement of LTP and expression of neurotrophic factors than either single medication treatment alone. Both memantine and rosuvastatin improved learning and memory, enhanced neovascularization and synaptic function, and upregulated neurotrophic factors in a rat model of chronic cerebral hypoperfusion.
