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

Post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) is a severe, long-term psychological disorder triggered by distressing events. The neural basis and underlying mechanisms of PTSD are not completely understood. Therefore, it is important to determine the pathology of PTSD using reliable animal models that mimic the symptoms of patients. However, the lack of evidence on the clinical relevance of PTSD animal models makes it difficult to interpret preclinical studies from a translational perspective. In this study, we performed a comprehensive screening of the behavioral, neuronal, glial, and electroencephalographic (EEG) profiles in the single prolonged stress and electric foot shock (SPS&S) mouse model. Based on the clinical features of PTSD, we observed fearful and excessive responses to trauma-related environments in the SPS&S mouse model that lasted longer than 14 days. The mice exhibited a defective and strong resistance to the extinction of fear memories caused by auditory cues and also showed enhanced innate fear induced by visual stimuli with concomitant phobias and anxiety. Furthermore, neurons, astrocytes, and microglia in PTSD-related brain regions were activated, supporting abnormal brain activation and neuroimmune changes. EEG assessment also revealed decreased power and impaired coupling strength between cortical regions. These results demonstrated that the SPS&S mouse model recapitulates the behavioral symptoms as well as neural and EEG profiles of PTSD patients, justifying the preclinical use of this mouse model.
