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

Decades of literature point to a critical role for prefrontal-hippocampal interactions in emotion and memory. Recent studies in both rodents and humans have revealed that these interactions are coordinated by the midline thalamic nucleus reuniens (RE), a brain region that mediates bidirectional communication between the hippocampus (HPC) and medial prefrontal cortex (mPFC). Here, we aimed to review studies that implicate the RE in memory, emotion, and executive function across a range of behavioral tasks. We also discuss the role the RE may play in the maladaptive cognitive and emotional processes associated with neuropsychiatric and neurological disorders. We conclude that the RE plays a critical role in coordinating oscillations in the mPFC-HPC network to support the flexible and context-dependent expression of memory and emotion.
