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 are crucial for episodic memory and spatial mapping. Sleep, particularly non-REM (NREM), is vital for memory consolidation, as it triggers plasticity mechanisms through brain oscillations that reactivate neuronal ensembles. Here, we assessed their role in consolidating hippocampal spatial representations during sleep. We recorded hippocampus activity in rats performing a spatial object-place recognition (OPR) memory task, during encoding and retrieval periods, separated by intervening sleep. Successful OPR retrieval correlated with NREM duration, during which cortical oscillations decreased in power and density as well as neuronal spiking, suggesting global downregulation of network excitability. However, neurons encoding specific spatial locations (i.e., place cells) or objects during OPR showed stronger synchrony with brain oscillations compared to non-encoding neurons, and the stability of spatial representations decreased proportionally with NREM duration. Our findings suggest that NREM sleep may promote flexible remapping in hippocampal ensembles, potentially aiding memory consolidation and adaptation to novel spatial contexts.
