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

backgroundSubcortical ischemic vascular dementia (SIVD) is a common subtype of vascular dementia. Currently, the bilateral common carotid artery stenosis (BCAS) mouse model is the most suitable SIVD rodent model. In this study, we investigated the functional and structural impairments in the hippocampus 1 month after BCAS.

methodsWe used behavioral tests, laser speckle flowmetry, long-term potentiation, histochemical staining, molecular experiments, and voxel-based morphometry to evaluate the hippocampal impairments.

resultsBehavioral studies revealed that BCAS mice exhibited worse performance. Laser speckle flowmetry detected an obvious decrease in cerebral blood flow. The synaptic plasticity of the perforant path-dentate gyrus pathway was inhibited. Decreased fractional anisotropy and increased mean diffusivity were detected in the hippocampus via diffusion tensor imaging data. A reduction in gray matter volume, which was most prominent in the hippocampus and its surrounding areas, was detected via voxel-based morphometry analysis. Impairments in cell morphology and myelin integrity were validated using histochemical staining and molecular biology techniques. In addition, the numbers of GFAP

conclusionsOverall, our study demonstrates early functional and structural impairments in the hippocampus contributing to learning and memory deficits after 1 month of BCAS, indicating that the hippocampus is vulnerable to chronic cerebral ischemia.
