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

introductionUnderstanding an individual's vulnerability to drug addiction has important implications for the development of effective personal treatment plans. Although theories acknowledge impulsive behaviour as a key component of drug addiction, little is known about the influence of trait impulsivity on an individual's susceptibility to the effects of psychostimulants on impulsivity at critical phases of the addiction cycle.

methodsThis study investigated the short and longer-term effects of chronic nicotine administration on impulsive choice in rats selected for high (HI) and low impulsivity (LI) on a delay discounting task. Rats prepared with subcutaneously osmotic mini-pumps received either nicotine (3.16 mg/kg/day [freebase]) or saline for 7 days. Performance was assessed during chronic treatment, early and late withdrawal, and in response to acute nicotine challenges following prolonged abstinence.

resultsChronic nicotine increased impulsive choice in LI but not HI animals. Spontaneous withdrawal was associated with a nicotine abstinence syndrome, the early stages of which were characterised by opposing effects on impulsive choice in HI and LI animals. A transient decrease in impulsivity was observed in HI animals whilst the LI group remained more impulsive for up to 1 week following drug termination. Following normalisation of behaviour, acute nicotine challenges (0.125, 0.25, 0.5 mg/kg, SC) markedly increased impulsive choice regardless of trait impulsivity and drug history.

conclusionThe results indicate that only LI individuals are vulnerable to chronic drug- and withdrawal-induced impairments in self-control which may increase the likelihood of the transition to, and maintenance of, nicotine dependence.
