Losartan improved hippocampal long-term potentiation impairment induced by repeated LPS injection in rats.
Article in Physiological reports, 2021. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 8 papers.
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.
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
Cognitive impairment has been known as a common consequence of brain inflammation. Long-term potentiation (LTP), the generally accepted cellular mechanism for memory formation in the mammalian brain, has been shown to be suppressed by inflammation. Studies have shown that angiotensin II (Ang II) through the Ang II type 1 receptor (AT1R) has a role in brain and peripheral immune system communication and brain inflammation. Here, the effect of AT1R blockade on hippocampal LTP in rats undergoing repeated lipopolysaccharide (LPS) injection was investigated. Rats received intraperitoneal (ip) injections of LPS (250 μg kg
