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 current study examined the effect of the noncompetitive N-methyl-D: -aspartate (NMDA) receptor antagonist (+)-5-methyl-10,11-dihydro-5H-dibenzo[a,d]cyclohepten-5,10-imine maleate (MK-801) on the extinction of food-based operant responding.

objectivesExperiments were carried out to determine (1) the nature of the elevated responding when rats were under the influence of MK-801, (2) the effect of combined and separate D1- and D2-like dopaminergic antagonists (SCH 23390 and haloperidol) on this MK-801-induced behavioral effect and (3) the neural correlates on and off MK-801 using immunohistochemical localization of the phosphorylated forms of the extracellular signal-regulated kinase-1 and -2.

methodsMale Long Evans rats were trained using operant conditioning procedures then treated with the various compounds, and resultant extinction pressing was measured.

resultsA moderate dose (0.1 mg/kg) of MK-801 produced a persistent, elevated lever pressing throughout the entire 30-min extinction session. When animals were pretreated with combined or separate dopamine (DA) D1- or D2-like receptor antagonists, extinction responding under MK-801 was significantly reduced. Examination of pERK1/2 labeling in MK-801-treated animals showed reduced staining in the infralimbic and piriform cortices and elevated staining in the nucleus accumbens compared with controls.

conclusionsThese data show that MK-801 elevates food-based extinction behavior that can be reduced by DA receptor antagonists. The disrupted extinction behavior may be mediated, in part, by disinhibition of corticostriatal circuits.
