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

Parkinson's disease (PD) is characterized not only by typical motor symptoms, but also by nonmotor symptoms in the early stages. In addition to the loss of dopaminergic (DAergic) neurons, progressive degenerations of noradrenergic (NA) and serotonergic (5-HT) neurons were also observed. However, the respective effects and interactions of these monoamine depletions on certain nonmotor symptoms are still largely unknown. In the present study, we performed selective depletions of NA, 5-HT and DA in mice by intraperitioneal injection of N-(2-chloroethyl)-N-ethyl-2-bromobenzylamine hydrochloride (DSP-4), 4-chloro-L-phenylalanine (pCPA) and 1-methyl-4-phenyl-1,2,3,6-tetrahydropyridine (MPTP), respectively. DSP-4 led to a 34% decrease in the number of NAergic neurons in the locus coeruleus, and MPTP led to a 30% decrease in the number of DAergic neurons in the substantia nigra. Although there was no obvious change in the number of 5-HTergic neurons in the dorsal raphe nucleus after pCPA treatment, the levels of 5-HT and its metabolite in the frontal cortex and hippocampus were reduced, respectively. Locomotor activity deficit was induced by DA depletion and a decrease in traveled distance was potentiated by additional NA depletion. Despair-associated depressive-like behavior could be observed in every group. Anxiety states emerged only from the combined depletion of two or three monoamines. However, combined depletion of the three monoamines dramatically induced anhedonia, and it could also aggravate the depressive-like and anxiety behavior. Furthermore, NA depletion significantly reduced spatial learning and memory ability, which was not enhanced by additional 5-HT or DA depletion. Our data highlighted the interactive role of NA, 5-HT and DA in the motor, emotional and cognitive deficits, providing new insight into the complex orchestration of impaired monoaminergic systems that related to the pathology of PD.
