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

aimsEntorhinal cortex (EC) deep brain stimulation (DBS) has shown a memory enhancement effect. However, its brain network modulation mechanisms remain unclear. The present study aimed to investigate the functional connectivity in the rat hippocampal-cortex network and episodic-like memory performance following EC-DBS.

methods7.0 T functional MRI (fMRI) scans and episodic-like memory tests were performed 3 days and 28 days after EC-DBS in healthy rats. The fMRI data processing was focused on the power spectra, functional connectivity, and causality relationships in the hippocampal-cortex network. In addition, the exploration ratio for each object and the discrimination ratio of the "when" and "where" factors were calculated in the behavioral tests.

resultsEC-DBS increased the power spectra and the functional connectivity in the prefrontal- and hippocampal-related networks 3 days after stimulation and recovered 4 weeks later. Both networks exhibited a strengthened connection with the EC after EC-DBS. Further seed-based functional connectivity comparisons showed increased connectivity among the prefrontal cortex, hippocampus and EC, especially on the ipsilateral side of DBS. The dentate gyrus is a hub region closely related to both the EC and the prefrontal cortex and receives information flow from both. Moreover, acute EC-DBS also enhanced the discrimination ratio of the "where" factor in the episodic-like memory test on Day 3.

conclusionEC-DBS caused a reversible modulation effect on functional connectivity in the hippocampal-cortex network and episodic-like memory performance.
