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

Episodic memory depends on the recollection of spatial and temporal aspects of past experiences in which the hippocampus plays a critical role. Studies on hippocampal lesions in rodents have shown that dentate gyrus (DG) and CA3 are necessary to detect object displacement in memory tasks. However, the understanding of real-time oscillatory activity underlying memory discrimination of subtle and pronounced displacements remains elusive. Here, we chronically implanted microelectrode arrays in adult male Wistar rats to record network oscillations from DG, CA3, and CA1 of the dorsal hippocampus while animals executed an object recognition task of high and low spatial displacement tests (HD: 108 cm, and LD: 54 cm, respectively). Behavioral analysis showed that the animals discriminate between stationary and displaced objects in the HD but not LD conditions. To investigate the hypothesis that theta and gamma oscillations in different areas of the hippocampus support discrimination processes in a recognition memory task, we compared epochs of object exploration between HD and LD conditions as well as displaced and stationary objects. We observed that object exploration epochs were accompanied by strong rhythmic activity in the theta frequency (6-12 Hz) band in the three hippocampal areas. Comparison between test conditions revealed higher theta band power and higher theta-gamma phase-amplitude coupling in the DG during HD than LD conditions. Similarly, direct comparison between displaced and stationary objects within the HD test showed higher theta band power in CA3 during exploration of displaced objects. Moreover, the discrimination index between displaced and stationary objects directly correlated with CA1 gamma band power in epochs of object exploration. We thus conclude that theta and gamma oscillations in the dorsal hippocampus support the successful discrimination of object displacement in a recognition memory task.
