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

The absence of companion may jeopardize mental health in social animals. Here, we tested the hypothesis that social isolation impairs social recognition memory by altering the excitability and the dialog between the olfactory bulb (OB) and the dorsal hippocampus (dHIP). Adult male Swiss mice were kept grouped (GH) or isolated (SI) for 7 days. Social memory (LTM) was evaluated using social recognition test. SI increased glutamate release in the OB, while decreased in the dHIP. Blocking AMPA and NMDA receptors into the OB or activating AMPA into the dHIP rescued LTM in SI mice, suggesting a cause-effect relationship between glutamate levels and LTM impairment. Additionally, during memory retrieval, phase-amplitude coupling between OB and dHIP decreased in SI mice. Our results indicate that SI impaired the glutamatergic signaling and the normal communication between OB and HIP, compromising the persistence of social memory.
