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 hippocampal CA1 subregion supports learning, memory formation, and spatial navigation. Although its three-layered architecture has been described in ex vivo investigations, the in vivo microstructural profile of CA1 and its relation to individual variations in memory performance remain poorly characterized. In this study, we used ultra-high field structural MRI at 7 Tesla to investigate the depth-dependent myelination patterns (measured by quantitative T1) of CA1 in younger adults, their relation to the local arterial architecture, and their association with individual differences in cognitive functions, specifically memory performance. Results show that left and right CA1 present depth-dependent patterns of myelination, with the outer and inner compartments showing higher myelination than the middle compartment. No significant relationship between layer-specific myelination of CA1 and distance to the nearest artery was observed. Right CA1 was found to be more myelinated than left CA1. Pairwise correlations and regression models showed that higher left CA1 myelination is linked to higher accuracy in object localization. Together, our data demonstrate the feasibility of describing the three-layered myelin architecture of CA1 in vivo, and provide information on how alterations in the architecture of CA1 may relate to alterations in cognitive performance in younger adults.
