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

Cognitive flexibility and working memory are important executive functions mediated by the prefrontal cortex and can be impaired by circadian rhythm disturbances such as chronic jet lag (CJL) or shift work. In the present study, we used mice to investigate whether (1) simulated CJL impairs cognitive flexibility, (2) the orexin system is involved in such impairment, and (3) nasal administration of orexin A is able to reverse CJL-induced deficits in cognitive flexibility and working memory. Mice were exposed to either standard light-dark conditions or simulated CJL consisting of series of advance time shifts. Experiment (1) investigated the effects of a mild CJL protocol on cognitive flexibility using the attentional set shifting task. Experiment (2) used a stronger CJL protocol and examined CJL effects on the orexin system utilizing c-Fos and orexin immunohistochemistry. Experiment (3) tested whether nasal orexin application can rescue CJL-induced deficits in cognitive flexibility and working memory, the latter by measuring spontaneous alternation in the Y-maze. The present data show that CJL (1) impairs cognitive flexibility and (2) reduces the activity of orexin neurons in the lateral hypothalamus. (3) Nasal administration of orexin A rescued CJL-induced deficits in working memory and cognitive flexibility. These findings suggest that executive function impairments by circadian rhythm disturbances such as CJL are caused by dysregulation of orexinergic input to the prefrontal cortex. Compensation of decreased orexinergic input by nasal administration of orexin A could be a potential therapy for CJL- or shift work-induced human deficits in executive functions.
