Adiponectin targets the AMPK/mTOR signaling pathway to alleviate cognitive impairment in epilepsy.

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.
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
Among patients with chronic epilepsy, 70‑80% have cognitive impairment. To investigate the relationship between adiponectin (ADPN) and the cognitive level in epilepsy and its mechanism, 20 epileptic patients and 20 healthy controls were included for the assessment of the cognitive level. An ELISA was used to evaluate the serum ADPN level. An epileptic rat model was established and treated with AdipoRon, an ADPN receptor (AdipoR) agonist, which binds to AdipoR1 and AdipoR2. The Morris water maze test was used to assess the cognitive function of rats, and the expression levels of the synapsis‑associated proteins postsynaptic density protein 95 (PSD95), synaptosomal associated protein 25 (SNAP25) and synaptophysin (SYP), as well as AMP‑activated protein kinase (AMPK), mTOR, phosphorylated (p‑)AMPK and p‑mTOR were determined by immunoblotting. Serum ADPN levels were positively correlated with the Montreal cognitive assessment score. AdipoRon improved the cognitive function of epileptic rats, maintained the structural integrity of hippocampal neurons and reduced neuronal damage. It also promoted the mRNA expression of AdipoR1 and AdipoR2 in the hippocampus. Furthermore, AdipoRon increased the expression of the synapsis‑associated proteins PSD95, SNAP25 and SYP by activating the AMPK/mTOR signaling pathway. ADPN improved cognitive impairment in epilepsy by targeting the AMPK/mTOR signaling pathway, providing novel insights for the treatment of epilepsy.
