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

rationalePharmacological manipulations of the type 1 cannabinoid receptor (CB1) suggest a role for CB1 in morphine-induced antinociception, but studies utilizing CB1 knockout (KO) mice do not support this conclusion. Since studies using CB1 KO mice to study morphine's antinociceptive effects have only examined thermal nociception, this study examines these interactions in models that employ a chemical stimulus.

objectivesTo determine whether the findings obtained with thermal pain models extend to other models, the effects of morphine on acetic acid-induced writhing were examined in CB1 KO and wildtype (WT) mice. Behaviors that decrease in response to acid injection, feeding and wheel running, were also examined, and investigations were carried out in the thermal hotplate assay. The CB1 antagonist SR141716A was also examined in these assays.

resultsMorphine completely blocked acid-induced writhing (1.0-10.0 mg/kg) and increased response latencies in the hotplate (10.0-32.0 mg/kg) in both genotypes. Morphine (3.2 mg/kg) significantly attenuated the suppression of wheel running but did not completely prevent this effect in either genotype. Morphine did not alter pain-suppressed feeding. In each of these assays, morphine's effects were not altered in CB1 KO mice compared with WT mice; however, SR141716A attenuated morphine's effects in C57BL/6 mice.

conclusionsThe effects of morphine do not differ in CB1 KO and WT mice in preclinical pain models using thermal and chemical stimuli. Since SR141716A did attenuate the effects of morphine, it is possible that CB1 KO mice undergo developmental changes that mask the role of CB1 receptors in morphine's antinociceptive effects.
