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

purposeObstructive sleep apnea (OSA) is highly comorbid with Alzheimer's disease (AD) and may represent a risk factor for inducing or accelerating cognitive impairment in AD. Chronic intermittent hypoxia (CIH) has been considered to be a predictor of developing cognitive decline and AD. However, the precise underlying mechanisms by which CIH contributes to cognitive impairment remain unknown. In the present study, we examined the effects of CIH on cognition and hippocampal function in APP/PS1 mice, an animal model of AD.

methodsWild-type (WT) and APP/PS1 mice were subjected to one of the following conditions for 2 weeks: (1) sham condition (continuous room air) or (2) CIH condition. The oxygen concentration of the CIH condition transitioned from 5 to 21%. Behavioral tests, electrophysiological recording, real-time polymerase chain reaction, and Western blot were used to assess the effect of CIH on cognitive performance and synaptic plasticity.

resultsCIH exposure did not affect motor coordination, general locomotor activity, anxiety, or willingness to explore. However, behavioral test results indicated that APP/PS1-CIH mice showed more spatial learning and memory deficits. CIH induced long-term potentiation (LTP) dysfunction of the hippocampus in WT mice. These effects were aggravated in APP/PS1 mice. The N-methyl-D-aspartic acid receptor (NMDAR) NR1 subunit and postsynaptic density 95 (PSD95) in the hippocampus of WT and APP/PS1 mice were downregulated.

conclusionsThese findings showed that a postsynaptic mechanism was involved in the effect of CIH on cognitive impairment.
