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

backgroundGenetic and pharmacological evidence suggests that the cyclic adenosine monophosphate-dependent protein kinase A pathway modulates neurobiological responses to ethanol. Mutant mice lacking the RIIbeta subunit of protein kinase A (RIIbeta(-/-)) are resistant to ethanol-induced sedation and drink significantly more ethanol than littermate wild-type mice (RIIbeta(+/+)). We determined whether high ethanol intake by the RIIbeta(-/-) mice on alternate genetic backgrounds is reliably predicted by high basal levels of anxiety or resistance to the sedative effects of ethanol.

methodsTwo-bottle choice procedures and a battery of behavioral tests (elevated plus maze, open-field activity, and zero maze) were used to assess voluntary ethanol consumption and basal levels of anxiety in RIIbeta(-/-) and RIIbeta(+/+) mice on either a C57BL/6J or a 129/SvEv x C57BL/6J genetic background. Additionally, ethanol-induced sedation and blood ethanol levels were determined in RIIbeta(-/-) and RIIbeta(+/+) mice after intraperitoneal injection of ethanol (3.8 g/kg).

resultsRIIbeta(-/-) mice on both genetic backgrounds consumed more ethanol and had a greater preference for ethanol relative to RIIbeta(+/+) mice. However, RIIbeta(-/-) mice showed reduced basal levels of anxiety when maintained on the C57BL/6J background but showed increased anxiety when maintained on the 129/SvEv x C57BL/6J background. Consistent with prior research, RIIbeta(-/-) mice were resistant to the sedative effects of ethanol, regardless of the genetic background. Finally, RIIbeta(-/-) and RIIbeta(+/+) mice showed similar blood ethanol levels.

conclusionsThese results indicate that high ethanol consumption is associated with resistance to the sedative effects of ethanol but that basal levels of anxiety, as well as ethanol metabolism, do not reliably predict high ethanol drinking by RIIbeta(-/-) mice.
