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

backgroundNoise pollution is one of the fundamental factors in the etiology of many disorders. Noise stress adversely affects cognitive behaviors and long-term potentiation (LTP), the candidate mechanism of learning and memory. In the present study, we examined the neuroprotective effects of nano-curcumin on behavioral and electrophysiological aspects of hippocampus-dependent memory in noise-exposed animals.

methodsThe stressed animals received either vehicle (ST) or nano-curcumin (NANO + ST) for 2 weeks. The control groups remained either intact (CON) or received nano-curcumin (NANO + CON). The ST and NANO + ST groups were exposed to daily noise for 2 weeks. The spatial memory was assessed in the Morris water maze. The LTP was investigated through field potential recording in the CA3-CA1 pathway of the hippocampus. Serum corticosterone level was measured at the end of the experiments.

resultsThe ST group showed a lower cognitive function and suppressed LTP compared to the CON group. The nano-curcumin treatment improved the maze navigation and LTP induction compared to the ST group. While the stress exposure elevated the serum level of corticosterone in the ST animals, nano-curcumin treatment reduced it.

conclusionsThe nano-curcumin treatment restores impaired behavioral and electrophysiological aspects of learning and memory in the noise-exposed animals. The plasma corticosterone levels may be associated with changes in cognitive behavior and synaptic plasticity.
