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

Within the central nervous system, synaptic plasticity, fundamental to processes like learning and memory, is largely driven by activity-dependent changes in synaptic strength. This plasticity often manifests as long-term potentiation (LTP) and long-term depression (LTD), which are bidirectional modulations of synaptic efficacy. Strong epidemiological and experimental evidence show that the heart-brain axis could be severely compromised by both neurological and cardiovascular disorders. Particularly, cardiovascular disorders, such as heart failure, hypertension, obesity, diabetes and insulin resistance, and arrhythmias, may lead to cognitive impairment, a condition known as cardiogenic dementia. Herein, we review the available knowledge on the synaptic and molecular mechanisms by which cardiogenic dementia may arise and describe how LTP and/or LTD induction and maintenance may be compromised in the CA1 region of the hippocampus by heart failure, metabolic syndrome, and arrhythmias. We also discuss the emerging evidence that endothelial dysfunction may contribute to directly altering hippocampal LTP by impairing the synaptically induced activation of the endothelial nitric oxide synthase. A better understanding of how CV disorders impact on the proper function of central synapses will shed novel light on the molecular underpinnings of cardiogenic dementia, thereby providing a new perspective for more specific pharmacological treatments.
