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

Ubiquinol cytochrome c reductase core protein I (UQCRC1) is a crucial subunit of Complex III, essential for its assembly. Reduced UQCRC1 expression impairs memory and spatial learning in mice, though the mechanisms are unclear. This study found that diminished UQCRC1 expression resulted in significant impairments in hippocampus-dependent cognition, which correlated with a notable decrease in UQCRC1 and synaptic proteins within the dentate gyrus (DG). RNA sequencing analysis of the hippocampus revealed a reduction in cilia, identified as a critical factor contributing to these cognitive deficits. Significantly, the overexpression of Ttbk2 in the DG restored ciliary function and mitigated cognitive impairments. Additionally, in vivo electrophysiological experiments demonstrated that theta and gamma rhythms and wide-wave interneuron reactivity in the hippocampus DG were present in Uqcrc1
