Comparison of female Fischer and Sprague-Dawley rats in the response to ketanserin.

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
The effects of the 5-HT2A/2C receptor antagonist, ketanserin, on lordosis behavior were examined in hormonally primed, ovariectomized Fischer and Sprague-Dawley females. Rats were primed with 0.067μg/g body weight estradiol benzoate and 3.33μg/g body weight progesterone. After a pretest for sexual behavior, rats were injected with 0.416 to 10mg/kg ketanserin. In both strains, lordosis behavior, lordosis quality, and proceptivity were significantly reduced by ketanserin. There was modest evidence of a strain difference with Sprague-Dawley females slightly more sensitive to ketanserin. In a second experiment, the effects of 10mg/kg fluoxetine, 1mg/kg ketanserin, and their combination were examined to determine if the two drugs would have additive effects on sexual behavior. There was no evidence that the drugs were additive in their effect and the strains did not differ in their response to the combined treatment. These findings are discussed in relation to prior evidence for strain differences in the sexual behavioral response to fluoxetine and to a receptor agonist acting preferentially at 5-HT1A receptors.
