Use of prepubertal environment enrichment to prevent dopamine dysregulation in a neurodevelopmental rat model of schizophrenia risk.
Article in STAR protocols, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 papers.
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
Here, we present a protocol for delivering environmental enrichment (EE) in discrete postnatal windows to prevent long-term dopamine neuron dysfunctions in a neurodevelopmental rat model of schizophrenia risk. We describe generation of the schizophrenia model through prenatal treatment of rats with methylazoxymethanol acetate (the MAM model) and the saline-treated controls. We then detail the 10-day or 20-day EE paradigms applied on male rats at different ages. This protocol also includes preparation of control groups in regular environment (RE) cages for comparison. For complete details on the use and execution of this protocol, please refer to Zhu and Grace (2021).
