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

Methamphetamine (METH) is an addictive agent that poses a public health problem due to its toxic effects on neural tissue. We have shown that METH induces striatal lesions (cell loss) within 24 h of administration. Because cell proliferation has been found to follow excitotoxic and other types of lesions in adult brain, we tested the hypothesis that cell proliferation would follow METH-induced striatal cell death. To that end, METH (30 mg/kg i.p.) was injected into adult male mice followed by a single injection of the proliferation marker 5-bromo-2'-deoxyuridine (BrdU, 100 mg/kg i.p.) at various times post-METH up to 12 weeks. Immunohistochemical analysis of striatal tissue showed that METH-treated animals incorporated BrdU between 24-48 h post-METH. To determine the survival of the newly generated cells, a subgroup of animals received BrdU 36 h after METH and were sacrificed at various times up to 12 weeks post-METH. Morphological analysis of striatal tissue from these animals showed that by 12 weeks post-METH, approximately 42% and 30% of the newly generated cells showed pyknotic or necrotic morphology, respectively. Thus, approximately 30% of the newly generated cells survive up to 12 weeks post-METH. Striatal volume was increased by METH and normalized to control levels by 12 weeks after METH. The data demonstrate that a single bolus injection of METH induces cellular changes and responses that persist for months after exposure to METH.
