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: Studies indicate that pattern separation for spatial and object information involves structures of the temporal cortex (lateral entorhinal and perirhinal cortices) and hippocampus (dentate gyrus and CA3), which are particularly sensitive to aging. However, little is known about how the hippocampal network, the anteroposterior axis of these regions, and the excitatory-inhibitory circuit contribute to the recognition and separation of object patterns. Methods: This study investigated the expression of c-Fos and PV along the anteroposterior axis of the hippocampus in a multi-trial task to assess the recognition of novel objects and recognition of novel objects with different levels of similarity. Five groups of animals performed tasks with different similarity demands (NOR, DIST, 25, 50, 75%). Results: The data showed that conditions of greater similarity led to increased c-Fos expression in CA3c and Hilus in the rostral hippocampus. Graph analysis revealed that hippocampal networks became more densely interconnected and efficient as object similarity increased. Furthermore, different patterns of cluster organization emerged depending on task demands. Besides, the granule cell layer along the dorsoventral axis exhibited greater activation of inhibitory neurons (PV+/c-Fos+) under conditions of higher similarity. Differential inhibitory/excitatory control of the DG-CA3 microcircuit network is seen across conditions. Modeling the DG layers revealed robust control of GCs through direct and indirect effects of interneurons present in the hilus and granule layer. Bidirectional direct and indirect effects of MCs on GCs were observed. Discussion: These results contribute to our understanding of how brain networks and DG excitatory/inhibitory microcircuits are jointly engaged in object recognition memory and disambiguation of overlapping inputs.
