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

Traumatic brain injury (TBI) is closely and bi-directionally linked with alcohol use, as by some estimates intoxication is the direct or indirect cause of one-third to one-half of all TBI cases. Alcohol use following injury can reduce the efficacy of rehabilitation and increase the chances for additional injury. Finally, TBI itself may be a risk factor for the development of alcohol use disorders. Children who suffer TBIs have poorer life outcomes and more risk of substance abuse. We used a standardized closed-head injury to model mild traumatic brain injuries. We found that mice injured as juveniles but not during adulthood exhibited much greater alcohol self-administration in adulthood. Further, this phenomenon was limited to female mice. Using behavioral testing, including conditioned place preference assays, we showed that early injuries increase the rewarding properties of alcohol. Environmental enrichment administered after injury reduced axonal degeneration and prevented the increase in drinking behavior. Additionally, brain-derived neurotrophic factor gene expression, which was reduced by TBI, was normalized by environmental enrichment. Together, these results suggest a novel model of alterations in reward circuitry following trauma during development.
