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 ability of an individual to reduce the intensity, duration or frequency of a stressor is a critical determinant of the consequences of that stressor on physiology and behavior. To expand our understanding of the brain networks engaged during controllable and uncontrollable stress and to identify sex differences, we used functional connectivity analyses of the immediate early gene product Fos in male and female rats exposed to either controllable or uncontrollable tail shocks. Twenty-eight regions of interest (ROI) were selected from the structures previously evinced to be responsible for stress response, action-outcome learning, or sexual dimorphism. We found that connectivity across these structures was strongest in female rats without control while weaker connectivity was evident in male rats with control over stress. Interestingly, this pattern correlates with known behavioral sex differences where stressor controllability leads to resilience in male but not female rats. Graph theoretical analysis identified several structures important to networks under specific conditions. In sum, the findings suggest that control over stress reshapes functional connectivity.
