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

Patients treated for cancer frequently experience chemobrain, characterized by impaired memory and reduced attention. These deficits often persist after treatment, and no preventive or curative interventions exist. In mice, we assessed the effect of cisplatin chemotherapy on attention using the 5-choice serial reaction time task and on synaptic integrity. We also assessed the capacity of mesenchymal stem cells to normalize the characteristics of chemobrain. Mice were trained in the 5-choice serial reaction time task. After reaching advancement criteria at a 4-second stimulus time, they were treated with cisplatin followed by nasal administration of mesenchymal stem cells. Cisplatin reduced the percentage of correct responses due to an increase in omissions, indicating attention deficits. Mesenchymal stem cell treatment reversed these cisplatin-induced deficits in attention. Cisplatin also induced abnormalities in markers of synaptic integrity in the prefrontal cortex. Specifically, cisplatin decreased expression of the global presynaptic marker synaptophysin and the glutamatergic presynaptic marker vGlut2. Expression of the presynaptic GABAergic marker vGAT increased. Nasal mesenchymal stem cell administration normalized these markers of synaptic integrity. In conclusion, cisplatin induces long-lasting attention deficits that are associated with decreased synaptic integrity in the prefrontal cortex. Nasal administration of mesenchymal stem cells reversed these behavioural and structural deficits.
