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

aimSleep disorders are common in Alzheimer's disease (AD) and assumed to directly influence cognitive function and disease progression. This study evaluated sleep characteristics in a rat model of AD that was induced by intracerebroventricular streptozotocin (STZ) administration and assessed the possible underlying mechanisms.

methodsCognition ability was assessed in the Morris water maze in rats. Sleep parameters were analyzed by electroencephalographic and electromyographic recordings. Neuronal activity in brain areas that regulate sleep-wake states was evaluated by double-staining immunohistochemistry. High-performance liquid chromatography with electrochemical detection was used to detect neurotransmitter levels.

resultsFourteen days after the STZ injection, the rats exhibited sleep disorders that were similar to those in AD patients, reflected by a significant increase in wakefulness and decreases in nonrapid eye movement (NREM) sleep and rapid eye movement (REM) sleep. The c-Fos expression analysis indicated that neuronal activity and the number of neurons in the dorsal raphe nucleus and locus coeruleus decreased in STZ-injected rats. In the ventrolateral preoptic nucleus (VLPO), the activity of γ-aminobutyric acid (GABA) neurons was suppressed. In the arousal-driving parabrachial nucleus (PBN), GABAergic activity was suppressed, whereas glutamatergic activity was promoted. The neurotransmitter analysis revealed a reduction in GABA in the VLPO and PBN and elevation of glutamate in the PBN. A direct injection of the GABA

conclusionThese results suggest that the reduction in GABAergic inhibition in the PBN and VLPO may be involved in sleep disorders that are induced by STZ. Our novel findings encourage further studies that investigate mechanisms of sleep regulation in sporadic AD.
