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

backgroundSilver nanoparticles (AgNPs) are widely used in medicine owing to their antiseptic activity and inducing cell death. Despite AgNPs' importance in nano-engineering and medical benefits, animal studies have shown silver toxicity can damage multiple organs such as the lungs, liver, kidneys, intestines, and brain. Several investigations revealed the correlation between Ag administration by different methods with impaired cognitive and behavioral abilities. Therefore, this systematic review aimed to conclude on the existing evidence of impairments in learning and memory that were changed in rodents exposed to AgNPs.

methodsMain searches were retrieved in Google Scholar, Scopus, Web of Science, and PubMed databases from 1979 to 2022. Eligibility Criteria were applied to select and extract 15 articles among 892.

resultsLearning and memory abilities of rats and mice in screened studies were evaluated with MWM, NORT, PAL, T-maze, Y-maze, contextual fear conditioning, Radial Arm Maze and Carousel Maze test. Data have shown various sizes from 10 to 100 nm could affect the results of tests among animals exposed to AgNPs compared with control animals. However, in some treatments, results achieved from tests have not demonstrated significant differences between control and treated groups.

conclusionStudies have revealed that treatment with Ag-NPs of different sizes can impair learning and memory skills in rats and mice.
