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

rationalePrevious studies have demonstrated that repeated social defeat (RSD) stress only induces cognitive deficits when experienced during adulthood. However, RSD increases cocaine-rewarding effects in adult and adolescent mice, inducing different expressions of proBDNF in the ventral tegmental area.

objectiveThe aim of the present study was to evaluate the effect of cocaine administration in socially defeated adult or adolescent mice on learning, memory, and anxiety. Additionally, the role of BDNF was also studied.

methodsAdolescent and young adult mice were exposed to four episodes of social defeat or exploration (control), being treated with a daily injection of four doses of saline or 1 mg/kg of cocaine 3 weeks after the last social defeat. Other groups were treated with the TrkB receptor antagonist ANA-12 during this 21-day period. After this treatment, their cognitive and anxiogenic profiles were evaluated, along with the expression of BDNF, pCREB, and pERK1/2 in the dentate gyrus (DG) and basolateral amygdala (BLA).

resultsCocaine induced an increased expression of pCREB and BDNF in the DG and BLA only in defeated animals. Although RSD did not affect memory, the administration of cocaine induced memory impairments only in defeated animals. Defeated adult mice needed more time to complete the mazes, and this effect was counteracted by cocaine administration. RSD induced anxiogenic effects only when experienced during adulthood and cocaine induced a general anxiolytic effect. Blockade of Trkb decreased memory retention without affecting spatial learning and modified anxiety on non-stressed mice depending on their age.

conclusionOur results demonstrate that the long-lasting effects of social defeat on anxiety and cognition are modulated by cocaine administration. Our results highlight that the BDNF signaling pathway could be a target to counteract the effects of cocaine on socially stressed subjects.
