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

rationaleThere is evidence to suggest that the rewarding effects of drugs of abuse can be altered by environmental manipulations such as housing conditions and access to running wheels. There is less information about how these environmental manipulations alter withdrawal behaviors following the termination of chronic drug administration.

objectivesThe objective of this study is to examine the effects of access to running wheels and group housing on spontaneous morphine withdrawal.

methodsC57BL/6J mice were assigned to one of the three housing conditions: wheel access (singly housed), no wheels (singly housed), or group-housed (no wheels). Mice received 30 or 56 mg/kg morphine or saline (s.c.) twice daily for 5.5 days. At baseline and at 8, 24, 32, and 48 h following the final injection, latency to respond on a hot plate was determined across a range of temperatures (50, 52, 54, and 56 °C).

resultsLatency to respond decreased as a function of temperature. Response latencies during the withdrawal period were decreased in mice without wheel access treated with both 30 and 56 mg/kg of morphine. This increase in thermal sensitivity was significantly attenuated in singly housed mice with wheel access and in group-housed mice; however, the effects were less pronounced in the group-housed mice and depended upon the time during withdrawal.

conclusionsBoth wheel access and group housing attenuate the increase in thermal sensitivity seen in morphine-treated mice during morphine withdrawal.
