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

backgroundPrenatal alcohol exposure (PAE) can produce behavioral deficits in the presence or absence of growth and morphological deficits. Here, we describe a murine PAE model having parallels to the clinical diagnosis of alcohol-related neurodevelopmental deficit (ARND).

methodsPregnant C57BL/6J mice were gavaged with alcohol (ALC, 3 g/kg) or maltodextrin daily on embryonic days (E) E8.5 through E17.5. Blood alcohol levels were 211 ± 14 mg/dL at 30 min post-gavage. Offspring behavior was tested at adolescence.

resultsALC dams gained less weight during the alcohol exposure period (p = 0.035). ALC male and female pups weighed more than controls at P15 (p ≤ 0.001) and P22 (p ≤ 0.001), but not at P37, perhaps because their dams were pair-housed. During the training session for accelerating rotarod, control offspring trended to stay longer on the rotarod than did ALC offspring [F

conclusionsThis mouse model of PAE, using a repeated intermediate exposure, produces modest behavioral impairments that are consistent along the continuum of PAE models, including deficits in associative memory and hyper-responsivity. The lack of growth or morphological deficits suggests these mice may model aspects of ARND.
