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

The hippocampus has long been recognized for its central role in memory and navigation. However more recent studies have shown that this structure is also involved in the pathophysiology of major psychiatric disorders. Specifically, the ventral/anterior portion of the hippocampus is a mediator of stress-induced circuit dysfunction in neuropathology. The hippocampus is comprised of a number of neurotransmissions, especially inhibitory, not unlike the neocortex, but is also vulnerable to disruption particularly in the juvenile stage. The disruption occurs via alterations in activity but also in rhythmicity, which is essential for gating information flow in its target structures. In this review, we show how stress-related disorders involve hippocampal dysfunction, and how this can impact the dopamine system as well as other circuits that lead to pathologies such as schizophrenia, depression and post-traumatic stress disorder. As such, the hippocampus may be an effective target for treatment and prevention of multiple pathological conditions.
