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

Consolidated memories can persist from a single day to years, and persistence is improved by retraining or retrieval-mediated plasticity. One retrieval-based way to strengthen memory is the reconsolidation process. Strengthening occurs simply by the presentation of specific cues associated with the original learning. This enhancement function has a fundamental role in the maintenance of memory relevance in animals everyday life. In the present study, we made a step forward in the identification of brain correlates imprinted by the reconsolidation process studying the long-term neural consequences when the strengthened memory is stable again. To reach such a goal, we compared the retention of paired-associate memories that went through retraining process or were labilizated-reconsolidated. Using functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI), we studied the specific areas activated during retrieval and analyzed the functional connectivity of the whole brain associated with the event-related design. We used Graph Theory tools to analyze the global features of the network. We show that reconsolidated memories imprint a more locally efficient network that is better at exchanging information, compared with memories that were retrained or untreated. For the first time, we report a method to elucidate the neural footprints associated with a relevant function of memory reconsolidation.
