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

Non-reinforced reactivation destabilizes spatial memory in the Morris water maze (MWM), triggering reconsolidation, a protein synthesis-dependent process that restabilizes reactivated memories. PKMζ is a constitutively active, atypical PKC isoform implicated in memory storage. However, the potential involvement of this kinase in spatial memory reconsolidation remains unexplored. We found that intra-dorsal CA1 infusion of the PKMζ inhibitor myristoylated ζ-inhibitory peptide (ZIP), but not its inactive scrambled analog scZIP, following non-reinforced spatial memory reactivation in the MWM, induced time-dependent, long-lasting amnesia in adult male Wistar rats. This effect was replicated by silencing PKMζ mRNA translation with phosphorothioated antisense oligonucleotides, but not by inhibiting the related PKCι/
