Effect of five common anticonvulsant drugs on naloxone-precipitated morphine withdrawal in mice.
Article in Research in pharmaceutical sciences, 2011. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 papers.
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.
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
This study was designed to assess the effect of five common anticonvulsant drugs on naloxone-precipitated withdrawal syndrome in morphine-dependent mice. Male mice (25-35 g) were made dependent by increasing doses of morphine (30-90 mg/kg). At least three doses of phenytoin, carbamazepine, sodium valproate, lamotrigine and topiramate were injected i.p. to morphine-dependent mice 45 min prior to induction of withdrawal syndrome by naloxone (5 mg/kg, i.p.). Control animals received vehicle. Number of jumpings was counted and ptosis, tremor, piloerection and diarrhea were checked in a 30 min period started just after naloxone injection. Results showed that lamotrigine, phenytoin and sodium valproate were ineffective in suppression of withdrawal syndrome while carbamazepine produced a dose-dependent reduction of jumpings. Topiramate at the maxium applied dose (100 mg/kg) significantly reduced number of naloxone-elicited jumpings. It seems that carbamazepine by inhibition of N-Methyl-D-Aspartate (NMDA) receptors and topiramate by inhibiting kainite-activated (AMPA) receptor antagonists suppress morphine withdrawal syndrome but further studies are needed to have a definite conclusion.
