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

rationaleThe use of animal models to study existing medications for smoking cessation can elucidate the mechanism(s) of action of cessation agents and further validate the models for medication development.

objectiveThe objective of the study was to evaluate the response of nicotine self-administration (NSA) to pharmacological agents related to the smoking cessation medication bupropion and to nicotine dosing mimicking nicotine replacement on fixed-ratio (FR) and progressive-ratio (PR) schedules of reinforcement. MATERIALS AND

methodsNSA was maintained at a nicotine dose of 30 microg/kg/infusion i.v. in rats trained on FR5 and PR40% schedules. Pharmacological manipulations related to bupropion were examined by treating animals with a dopamine reuptake inhibitor [GBR 12909 (GBR)], a norepinephrine reuptake inhibitor [nisoxetine (NIS)], and a nicotinic antagonist [dihydro-beta-erythroidine (DHbetaE)]. The effect of nicotine replacement was examined on the PR schedule by chronic dosing with osmotic minipumps.

resultsSignificant treatment effects occurred with NIS and combinations of NIS-DHbetaE and with GBR on response rates. Chronic nicotine dosing reduced self-administration. The two schedules yielded different results with some treatments.

conclusionsNoradrenergic-nicotinic cholinergic interactions and enhanced responding consequent to dopamine reuptake inhibition may be part of the complex behavioral pharmacology of bupropion-like compounds. Observation of differential results with the two schedules has implication for the use of self-administration techniques to elaborate the mechanisms of dependence as well as drug discovery.
