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

To date, potential mechanisms of menopause-related memory and cognitive deficits have not been elucidated. Therefore, we studied brain oscillations, their phase-amplitude coupling, sleep and vigilance state patterns, running wheel use and other behavioural measures in a translationally valid mouse model of menopause, the 4-vinylcyclohexene-diepoxide-induced accelerated ovarian failure. After accelerated ovarian failure, female mice show significant alterations in brain rhythms, including changes in the frequencies of θ (5-12 Hz) and γ (30-120 Hz) oscillations, a reversed phase-amplitude coupling, altered coupling of hippocampal sharp-wave ripples to medial prefrontal cortical sleep spindles and reduced δ oscillation (0.5-4 Hz) synchrony between the two regions during non-rapid eye movement sleep. In addition, we report on significant circadian variations in the frequencies of θ and γ oscillations, and massive synchronous δ oscillations during wheel running. Our results reveal novel and specific network alterations and feasible signs for diminished brain connectivity in the accelerated ovarian failure mouse model of menopause. Taken together, our results may have identified changes possibly responsible for some of the memory and cognitive deficits previously described in this model. Corresponding future studies in menopausal women could shed light on fundamental mechanisms underlying the neurological and psychiatric comorbidities present during this important transitional phase in women's lives.
