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

With its capacity to modulate motor control and motivational as well as cognitive functions dopamine is implicated in numerous neuropsychiatric diseases. The present study investigated whether an imbalance in dopamine homeostasis as evident in the dopamine overexpressing rat model (DAT-tg), results in learning and memory deficits associated with changes in adult hippocampal neurogenesis. Adult DAT-tg and control rats were subjected to the Morris water maze, the radial arm maze and a discrimination reversal paradigm and newly generated neurons in hippocampal circuitry were investigated post mortem. DAT-tg rats were found to exhibit a striking inability to acquire information and deploy spatial search strategies. At the same time, reduced integration of adult-born neurons in hippocampal circuitry was observed, which together with changes in striatal dopamine signalling might explain behavioural deficits.
