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

Eticlopride is a substituted benzamide analog with high affinity and selectivity for dopamine (DA) D2-like receptors that was initially developed as a potential antipsychotic agent. A great deal of research has utilized this drug to better understand central DA receptor function, the role of D2-like receptors in behavior, and the influence of blockade of these receptors on several preclinical animal models. This review highlights research utilizing this drug and compares it to typical and atypical antipsychotics used clinically. First, we describe structure-activity relationships as it relates to binding at DA receptors and the consequences on behavior. This is followed by a discussion of several imaging strategies including the use of eticlopride for in vivo, in vitro, and ex vivo examination of DA D2-like receptor densities and function. Finally, we discuss the use of eticlopride in several behavioral models predictive of antipsychotic activity, extrapyramidal side effects (EPS), and learning and memory. While eticlopride is not used clinically, it remains a viable research tool for understanding DA receptor function and behavior.
