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 plays a critical role in contextual learning and memory processes. The ability to associate memories and behaviors with the learning context likely involves interactions between the hippocampus and other brain regions where the basic elements of the memory may be encoded. Here, we examined interactions of the hippocampus and the olfactory system using a contextually cued conditional discrimination task that required rats to remember that one odor from a pair of odor cues is rewarded in one context, but the opposite odor is rewarded in a different context. We used muscimol to inactivate the anterior olfactory nucleus, a key target for hippocampal output to the olfactory system, and the ventral hippocampus. We also performed crossed-hemisphere inactivation of the anterior olfactory nucleus in one hemisphere and the hippocampus in the other. All three inactivation procedures severely impaired performance. These results indicate that interactions between the hippocampus and anterior olfactory nucleus are critical for context-dependent odor memory.
