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

rationaleParkinson's disease (PD) is characterized as a chronic and progressive neurodegenerative disorder, and PD patients have non-motor features such as depressive symptoms. Although there are several available medications to treat PD symptoms, these medications do not prevent the progression of the disease.

objective(R)-ketamine has greater and longer-lasting antidepressant effects than (S)-ketamine in animal models of depression. This study was undertaken to investigate whether two enantiomers of ketamine and its metabolite norketamine shows neuroprotective effects in an animal model of PD.

methodsEffects of (R)-ketamine, (S)-ketamine, and their metabolites on MPTP (1-methyl-4-phenyl-1,2,3,6-tetrahydropyridine)-induced reduction of dopamine transporter (DAT) and tyrosine hydroxylase (TH) in the mouse striatum and substantia nigra (SNr) were examined.

resultsMPTP-induced reduction of DAT in the striatum was attenuated by subsequent repeated intranasal administration of both enantiomers of ketamine although (R)-ketamine was more potent than (S)-ketamine. MPTP-induced reduction of TH in the striatum and SNr was attenuated by administration of (R)-ketamine, but not (S)-ketamine. Interestingly, MPTP-induced reduction of DAT in the striatum was also attenuated by a single intranasal administration of (R)-ketamine. In contrast, MPTP-induced reduction of DAT in the striatum was not attenuated by repeated intranasal administration of two enantiomers of norketamine. Furthermore, the pretreatment with TrkB antagonist ANA-12 significantly blocked the neuroprotective effects of (R)-ketamine in the MPTP-induced reduction of DAT in the striatum.

conclusionsThese findings suggest that (R)-ketamine can protect against MPTP-induced neurotoxicity in the mouse brain via TrkB activation. Therefore, (R)-ketamine could represent a therapeutic drug for neurodegenerative disorders such as PD.
