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

objectiveThis study intended to evaluate if central administration of abscisic acid (ABA) alone or in combination with GW9662, a peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor γ (PPAR-γ) antagonist, could modulate learning and memory as well as hippocampal synaptic plasticity in a rat model of streptozotocin (STZ)-induced diabetes. MATERIALS AND

methodsIntraperitoneal injection of STZ (65 mg/kg) was used to induce diabetes. Diabetic rats were than treated with intracerebroventricular (i.c.v.) administration of ABA (10, 15 and 20 µg/rat), GW9662 (3 µg/rat) or GW9662 (3 µg/rat) plus ABA (20 µg/rat). Animals' spatial and passive avoidance learning and memory performances were assessed by Morris water maze (MWM) and shuttle box tasks, respectively. Further,

resultsSTZ diabetic rats showed diminished learning and memory in both MWM and shuttle box tasks. The STZ-induced memory deficits were attenuated by central infusion of ABA (10 and 20 µg/rat). Besides, STZ injection impaired long-term potentiation induction in CA1 neurons that was attenuated by ABA at 20 μg/rat. Central administration of GW9662 (3 µg/rat) alone did not modify STZ-induced spatial and passive avoidance learning and memory performances of rats. Further, GW9662 prevented ABA capacity to restore learning and memory in behavioral and electrophysiology trials.

conclusionAltogether, ABA ameliorates cognitive deficits in rats via activation of PPAR-γ receptor in diabetic rats.
