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

Rapid tolerance develops to many of nicotine's behavioral and autonomic effects. A better understanding of the spatiotemporal patterns in neuronal activity as a consequence of acute nicotine tolerance (tachyphylaxis) may help explain its commonly found inverted 'U'-shaped biphasic dose-effect relationship on various behaviors. To this end, we employed high-resolution functional magnetic resonance imaging and relative cerebral blood volume (rCBV) as a marker of neuronal activity, to characterize the regional development of acute tolerance as a function of nicotine dose in naïve, anesthetized rats. A single intravenous nicotine injection at 0.1 and 0.3, but not 0.03 mg/kg, significantly increased neuronal activity in many neocortical areas. In contrast, dose-dependent increases in rCBV were most pronounced in limbic regions, such that responses seen at 0.1 mg/kg nicotine in accumbens, hippocampus, amygdala, and several other limbic areas were not seen following 0.3 mg/kg nicotine. Finally, whereas profound tolerance was observed in many cortical regions after the second of two paired nicotine injections at either 0.1 or 0.3 mg/kg, subcortical limbic structures showed only a weak trend for tolerance. Lack of rCBV changes in animals receiving nicotine methiodide, a quaternary nicotine analog that does not cross the blood-brain barrier, supports a direct neuronal effect of nicotine rather than an action on the vasculature. These data provide pharmacodynamic insight into the regional heterogeneity of nicotine tachyphylaxis development, which may be relevant to behavioral and neurobiological mechanisms associated with repeated tobacco consumption.
