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

Introduction: The differences among dorsal and ventral hippocampal neural circuits affect synaptic plasticity. In this study, we aim to compare the occurrence of short-term plasticity in the field excitatory postsynaptic potential (fEPSP) in dorsal and ventral hippocampal CA1 areas following kindled seizures. Methods: Animals (male C57 B6/J mice, 12 weeks of age) were kindled by intraperitoneal injections of pentylenetetrazole (PTZ), and fEPSPs were recorded from dorsal and ventral hippocampal slices. Short-term plasticity was evaluated by measuring fEPSP-slope and fEPSP-area following paired-pulse stimulation delivered at three inter-pulse intervals (20, 80, and 160 ms). Results: In control slices, the fEPSP-slope was greater in the ventral hippocampus compared to the dorsal hippocampus, but there was no difference in the fEPSP-area between the two regions. In hippocampal slices, the fEPSP-slope was similar in the dorsal and ventral regions, but the fEPSP-area was greater in the ventral region compared to the dorsal region. In addition, the fEPSP-area was greater in the kindled group than in the control group only in the ventral hippocampus. PTZ-induced kindled slices showed impaired short-term facilitation, and the paired-pulse index decreased only in the dorsal hippocampus. Kindling had no significant effect on the paired-pulse ratio in the ventral hippocampus. Conclusion: The seizure occurrence affects the neural activity of the hippocampus in a region-dependent manner. Although kindling increases the fEPSP area in the ventral hippocampus of mice, kindling-induced changes in short-term synaptic plasticity are significant only in the dorsal hippocampus. The difference in the responses of dorsal and ventral poles should be considered in future studies.
