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

backgroundWe previously showed that presenting two cocaine cues simultaneously during extinction deepens the extinction of cue-elicited cocaine seeking (Kearns et al., 2012). The present study investigated whether compounding a non-drug appetitive cue with a cocaine cue would similarly deepen extinction.

methodsIn Experiment 1, tone and click were each first established as discriminative stimuli for cocaine-reinforced responding and light was a cue for food-reinforced responding. In an initial extinction phase, all stimuli were presented individually. Then, during an additional compound extinction session, rats received 8 presentations of one of the cocaine cues (counterbalanced over subjects) simultaneously with light and 8 presentations of the other cue alone. A spontaneous recovery test was used to evaluate the effectiveness of the extinction treatments. Experiment 2 was performed under conditions designed to match those of Experiment 1, except food was the reinforcer in tone and click instead of cocaine.

resultsIn Experiment 1, the cocaine cue compounded with the food cue during extinction controlled greater spontaneous recovery of cocaine seeking than the cocaine cue always presented alone. In contrast, Experiment 2 demonstrated deepened extinction of responding to a food cue when both compounded cues were food cues.

conclusionsResults suggest that deepened extinction depends on the compound presentation of cues associated with the same reinforcer. Compound presentation of cues associated with different reinforcers could lead to an enhancement of responding. Care is urged in attempts to deepen the extinction of cue-elicited drug seeking by compounding drug cues with non-drug cues.
