Terahertz wave stimulation improves visual recognition memory via the activation of excitatory neurons in the perirhinal cortex.

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.
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
Terahertz (THz) waves, with frequencies between those of microwaves and infrared light, can excite nonlinear resonance and affect cellular function. However, the effects and underlying mechanism of terahertz radiation on neurons and rodent behaviour are still unclear. Here, we constructed THz radiation exposure models in the perirhinal cortex (PRH) of male mice. First, we measured the power and depth of penetration of the 0.152 THz photons cranially above the PRH. We demonstrated that the visual recognition memory of mice was improved after THz wave irradiation, which was similar to the effect of light activation of glutamatergic neurons in the PRH. In addition, THz wave exposure increased the number of c-Fos
