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

Amfetamine abuse has grown into a worldwide epidemic. Methamfetamine, a derivative of amfetamine made from readily accessible chemicals, has plagued the US since the 1960s, with an alarming recent surge in the numbers of those meeting the criteria for amfetamine abuse and dependence. We review this problem using a computerised literature search (PubMed 1964-2007) to summarise knowledge from animal and human studies about treatments for amfetamine dependence, while exploring the potential of pharmacogenetics to help uncover new treatment targets. Several promising therapeutic targets have come from animal models of reward, drug-taking behaviour and withdrawal. Although preclinical and selected clinical results have been promising, clinical studies have yielded inconsistent results. To improve these outcomes, pharmacogenetic studies may be used to identify candidate alleles that predict therapeutic response. Exciting preclinical findings and a steady progression of clinical results offer hope for the development of a treatment for amfetamine dependence.
