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

Transcranial neuromodulation faces limitations in precision and depth. This study develops a precise transcranial near-infrared (NIR) neuromodulation technique using polydopamine nanoparticles (PDA NPs) to address cognitive dysfunction. We synthesize 490 nm PDA NPs as photothermal nanomediators for 1064 nm NIR stimulation and assess their mechanisms and effects in PC12 cells and perioperative neurocognitive dysfunction (PND) model mice. In vitro, PDA NP-mediated NIR stimulation exhibits a power-dependent regulatory effect on calcium activity. This activation is mediated through TRPV1, which subsequently enhances mitochondrial membrane potential and intracellular ATP levels. In vivo, this stimulation strategy increases neuronal calcium activity and strengthens gamma oscillations in the hippocampal dentate gyrus (DG). Consequently, the treatment significantly improves spatial memory in both naive and cognitively impaired mice. These findings suggest that PDA NP-mediated NIR neuromodulation offers a promising, precise therapeutic strategy for treating cognitive dysfunction and related neurological disorders.
