The effect of chronic stress and its preconditioning on spatial memory as well as hippocampal LRP1 and RAGE expression in a streptozotocin-induced rat model of Alzheimer's disease.
Article in Metabolic brain disease, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 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
According to available evidence, prolonged or chronic exposure to stress is detrimental to various brain structures, including the hippocampus. The current study examined the expression of two critical blood-brain barrier receptors required for amyloid-beta clearance to understand better the mechanism by which chronic stress impairs learning and memory in patients with Alzheimer's disease (AD). Rats were randomly assigned to one of two groups in this study: experiment 1 and experiment 2. Each main group was then divided into four subgroups. Rats were bilaterally injected with streptozotocin (STZ, 3 mg/kg, twice) using the intracerebroventricular (ICV) technique to induce the Alzheimer's model. Additionally, they were subjected to foot shock (1 mA, 1 Hz) for 10 s every 60 s (1 h/day) for ten consecutive days prior to and following STZ injection. The Morris Water Maze (MWM) test was used to assess spatial learning and memory. Real-time PCR was used to determine Low-density lipoprotein receptor-related protein-1 (LRP1) and receptor for advanced glycation end-products (RAGE) mRNA levels in the hippocampus. Moreover, the animals' body weights were determined as physiological parameters in all groups. The results indicated that 10-day chronic electric foot shock stress reduced body weight, impaired spatial learning and memory, decreased hippocampal LRP1 mRNA expression, and increased hippocampal RAGE mRNA expression in a rat AD model. It can be concluded that chronic stress in conjunction with AD alters the expression of LRP1 and RAGE in the hippocampus. The findings pave the way for scientists to develop novel treatment strategies for AD.
