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 continuous generation of new neurons in the adult mammalian hippocampus is a form of neural plasticity that modulates learning and memory functions, and also emotion (anxiety and depression). Among the factors known to modulate adult hippocampal neurogenesis and brain function, lipocalin-2 (LCN2) was recently described as a key regulator of neural stem cells (NSCs) proliferation and commitment, with impact on several dimensions of behaviour. Herein, we evaluated whether voluntary running, a well-known regulator of cell genesis, rescue the deficient adult hippocampal neurogenesis observed in mice lacking LCN2. We observed that running, by counteracting oxidative stress in NSCs, reverses LCN2-null mice defective hippocampal neurogenesis, as it promotes NSCs cell cycle progression and maturation, resulting in a partial reduction in anxiety and improved contextual behaviour. Together, these findings demonstrate that running is a positive modulator of adult hippocampal neurogenesis and behaviour in mice lacking LCN2, by impacting on the antioxidant kinetics of NSCs.
