Preference for distinct functional conformations of the dopamine transporter alters the relationship between subjective effects of cocaine and stimulation of mesolimbic dopamine.

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
backgroundSubjective effects of cocaine are mediated primarily by dopamine (DA) transporter (DAT) blockade. The present study assessed the hypothesis that different DAT conformational equilibria regulate differences in cocaine-like subjective effects and extracellular DA induced by diverse DA-uptake inhibitors (DUIs).
methodsThe relationship between cocaine-like subjective effects and stimulation of mesolimbic DA levels by standard DUIs (cocaine, methylphenidate, WIN35,428) and atypical DUIs (benztropine analogs: AHN1-055, AHN2-005, JHW007) was investigated using cocaine discrimination and DA microdialysis procedures in rats.
resultsAll drugs stimulated DA levels with different maxima and time courses. Standard DUIs, which preferentially bind outward-facing DAT conformations, fully substituted for cocaine, consistently producing cocaine-like subjective effects at DA levels of 100-125% over basal values, regardless of dose or pretreatment time. The atypical DUIs, with DAT binding minimally affected by DAT conformation, produced inconsistent cocaine-like subjective effects. Full effects were obtained, if at all, only at a few doses and pretreatment times and at DA levels 600-700% greater than basal values. Importantly, the linear, time-independent, relationship between cocaine-like subjective effects and DA stimulation obtained with standard DUIs was not obtained with the atypical DUIs.
conclusionsThese results suggest a time-related desensitization process underlying the reduced cocaine subjective effects of atypical DUIs that may be differentially induced by the binding modalities identified using molecular approaches. Since the DAT is the target of several drugs for treating neuropsychiatric disorders, such as attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder, these results help to identify safe and effective medications with minimal cocaine-like subjective effects that contribute to abuse liability.
