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

objectiveDiabetic neuropathy is a chronic and often disabling condition that affects a significant number of individuals with diabetes mellitus (DM). It is now established that DM causes various CNS complications like Alzheimer's, dementia, anxiety, depression, neurodegeneration, mood disorders, cognitive dysfunctioning, and so on. Since amygdala and dopaminergic circuitry are critical in controlling several aspects of social behavior, even social recognition memory (SRM), we aimed to study the expression analysis of dopaminergic circuitry in amygdala using real-time polymerase chain reaction. MATERIAL AND

methodsAnimals were divided into 2 age- and weight-matched groups: group I-control group and group II-diabetic group. Diabetes was induced by injecting 50 mg/kg streptozotocin (STZ; in 0.1 mL ice cold citrate buffer, pH 4.5) i.p. for 5 consecutive days. Behavioral tests were performed 8 weeks after diabetes was introduced. On day 60, animals were sacrificed, amygdala was dissected, and the total RNA was isolated. Expression analysis was carried out using real time PCR.

resultsNo significant changes were observed in social interaction and social isolation aspects of diabetic mice, but SRM was significantly dysregulated. Additionally, we found that dopaminergic neurotransmission (dopaminergic receptor expression and expression of enzymes controlling dopamine turnover) was significantly downregulated in the amygdala of STZ mice as compared to controls.

conclusionWe hypothesize that the altered SRM could be due to the dysregulated dopaminergic circuitry in amygdala, although a detailed investigation is required to establish a causal relationship.
