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

Neuronal ensembles in the amygdala, ventral hippocampus, and prefrontal cortex are involved in fear memory; however, how inter-regional ensemble interactions support memory remains elusive. Using multi-regional large-scale electrophysiology in the aforementioned structures of fear-conditioned rats, we found that the local ensembles activated during fear memory acquisition are inter-regionally coactivated during the subsequent sleep period, which relied on brief bouts of fast network oscillations. During memory retrieval, the coactivations reappeared, together with fast oscillations. Coactivation-participating-ensembles were configured prior to memory acquisition in the amygdala and prefrontal cortex but developed through experience in the hippocampus. Our findings suggest that elements of a given memory are instantly encoded within various brain regions in a preconfigured manner, whereas hippocampal ensembles and the network for inter-regional integration of the distributed information develop in an experience-dependent manner to form a new memory, which is consistent with the hippocampal memory index hypothesis.
