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

rationaleAccelerated forgetting contributes substantially to memory deterioration in various neurological disorders in which inflammation is a prominent pathological hallmark. Inflammation typically impairs memory formation. Given that the neural mechanisms underpinning forgetting may be associated with that supporting memory formation, inflammation could be a key driver of accelerated forgetting. However, this assumption and its mechanistic basis have not been systematically examined.

objectivesTo determine whether lipopolysaccharide (LPS), a robust inducer of systemic inflammation, accelerates the forgetting of recognition memory, and whether the integrated stress response (ISR) plays a mechanistic role in this process.

methodsMice were trained based on two recognition memory paradigms and subsequently received vehicle, LPS, or LPS combined with the ISR inhibitor ISRIB during the memory retention interval. Sickness behavior was assessed by monitoring body weight and food intake. Memory performance was quantified using the exploration index reflecting novelty preference. Microglial and ISR activation in the hippocampus were evaluated via examining the expression of Iba1, phosphorylated eukaryotic translation initiation factor 2α (p-eIF2α), and activating transcription factor 4 (ATF4), respectively.

resultsLPS elicited marked sickness behaviors, accelerated the decay of previously acquired recognition memory, and triggered robust microglial and ISR activation in the hippocampus. ISRIB administration effectively reversed LPS-provoked microglial and ISR activation, and accelerated forgetting, while leaving sickness behaviors and memory retrieval unaffected.

conclusionsLPS-elicited inflammation accelerates the forgetting of recognition memory, and ISR activation is involved in this effect, suggesting that ISR inhibition may provide a potential therapeutic target for inflammation-associated accelerated forgetting.
