The protective effect of olanzapine on ketamine induced cognitive deficit and increased NR1 expression in rat model of schizophrenia.
Article in International journal of physiology, pathophysiology and pharmacology, 2021. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled 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.
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
backgroundImpaired cognitive flexibility is the core manifestation of schizophrenia (SZ). Previous literature raised a claim against the effect of atypical antipsychotic drugs (AAD) on cognitive and executive functions whose cause needs further investigation. Attention set-shifting task (ASST) tests the prefrontal cortex's (PFC) executive and flexibility functions. GOALS: To examine Olanzapine (OLZ) effect on ASST, expression of N-methyl-D-aspartate receptor 1 (NMDR-NR1) in prefrontal cortex (PFC), and metabolic comorbidity in ketamine (KET) model of SZ.
methodsSixty-two male rats were divided into three groups: 8 for ASST and 30 for open field, ELISA and immunohistochemistry sub-chronic study, and 24 for regular serological and histopathological examination. Rats treated with V: vehicle; K: KET and KO: OLZ plus KET.
resultsKET caused significant increase in time, trials, and errors to reach criterion. OLZ co-administration reversed effects of KET in ASST with no reduction of locomotor activity. OLZ normalized KET-induced rise of NR1 expression and protected against KET-induced degenerative changes in hippocampus and PFC. Significant increase in serum liver enzymes, total bilirubin, and lipids with chronic compared to sub-chronic OLZ administration. In contrast, insignificant difference between sub-chronic OLZ and vehicle was found.
conclusionsCurrent study demonstrated the efficacy of OLZ to reverse KET-induced cognitive deficits in ASST with neither reduction in NR1 expression in PFC nor metabolic malfunction in the sub-chronic study. It also showed the protective effect of OLZ on KET induced neuronal degeneration and necrosis. We suggest that chronic OLZ treatment-induced-metabolic malfunction might be the cause of time-dependent cognitive deterioration.
