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

Reelin, an extracellular matrix protein with putative antidepressant-like properties, becomes dysregulated by chronic stress. Improvement in cognitive dysfunction and depression-like behavior induced by chronic stress has been reported with both intrahippocampal and intravenous Reelin treatment but the mechanisms responsible are not clear. To determine if treatment with Reelin modifies chronic stress-induced dysfunction in immune organs and whether this relates to behavioral and/or neurochemical outcomes, spleens were collected from both male (n = 62) and female (n = 53) rats treated with daily corticosterone injections for three weeks that received Reelin or vehicle. Reelin was intravenously administered once on the final day of chronic stress, or repeatedly, with weekly treatments throughout chronic stress. Behavior was assessed during the forced swim test and the object-in-place test. Chronic corticosterone caused significant atrophy of the spleen white pulp, but treatment with a single shot of Reelin restored white pulp in both males and females. Repeated Reelin injections also resolved atrophy in females. Correlations were observed between recovery of white pulp atrophy and recovery of behavioral deficits and expression of both Reelin and glutamate receptor 1 in the hippocampus, supporting a role of the peripheral immune system in the recovery of chronic stress-induced behaviors following treatment with Reelin. Our data adds to research indicating Reelin could be a valuable therapeutic target for chronic stress-related disorders including major depression.
