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

Hypobaric hypoxia (HH) is a typical characteristic of high altitude environment and causes a spectrum of pathophysiological effects, including headaches, gliovascular dysfunction and cognitive retardation. Here, we sought to understand the mechanisms underlying cognitive deficits under HH exposure. Our results showed that hypobaric hypoxia exposure impaired cognitive function and suppressed dendritic spine density accompanied with increased neck length in both basal and apical hippocampal CA1 region neurons in mice. The expression of PSD95, a vital synaptic scaffolding molecule, is down-regulated by hypobaric hypoxia exposure and post-transcriptionally regulated by cold-inducible RNA-binding protein (Cirbp) through 3'-UTR region binding. PSD95 expressing alleviates hypoxia-induced dendritic spine morphology changes of hippocampal neurons and memory deterioration. Moreover, overexpressed Cirbp in hippocampus rescues HH-induced abnormal expression of PSD95 and attenuates hypoxia-induced dendritic spine injury and cognitive retardation. Thus, our findings reveal a novel mechanism that Cirbp-PSD-95 axis appears to play an essential role in HH-induced cognitive dysfunction in mice.
