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

objectivesThe cognitive functions, motor coordination, and social behavior were studied in rodents after adding different doses of caffeine in their drinking water. METHODOLOGY: BLC57 mice were divided into four groups: Control (

resultsIn water maze, the latency to reach the platform was significantly shorter in Ch MD group compared to the control and the Ch HD groups. WD group showed the worst performance. RR results showed that the groups treated with caffeine performed poor in comparison to the control group where their latency to fall was significantly less. In the three-chamber test, the Ch MD group showed enhanced sociability (session 1) and social novelty behavior (session 2). On the other hand, both Ch HD and WD showed a lack in sociability and a deficit in social novelty. In the EPM, results showed that all caffeine administrated mice where more anxious than the control group.

conclusionWe concluded that chronic administration of caffeine in MD resulted in enhancement of spatial memory, motor functions, sociability, and social novelty. The anxiety in these animals was, however, increased. On the other hand, Ch HD caffeine had opposite effects on all the parameters except for anxiety.
