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

rationaleOur previous studies showed promise for using sensitization of the frequency-modulated 50-kHz vocalization response to amphetamine (AMPH) as an index of rat vulnerability to AMPH addiction.

objectiveThis study aimed to test the utility of sensitizing frequency-modulated (FM) 50-kHz vocalization in the AMPH self-administration paradigm as well as the ability of N-acetylcysteine to prevent self-administration relapse.

methodsRats were subjected to the so-called two-injection protocol of sensitization (TIPS) using AMPH and were categorized as low-sensitized callers (LCTIPS) or high-sensitized callers (HCTIPS) based on the individual outcomes. Then, they were given 44 sessions of AMPH self-administration followed by a 17-session N-acetylcysteine-aided extinction course and a single session of AMPH-primed self-administration reinstatement.

resultsLCTIPS compared to HCTIPS rats showed no considerable difference in the FM 50-kHz vocalization rate during the self-administration training or extinction course, but they were considerably more likely to acquire AMPH self-administration and experience drug-induced reinstatement of this trait. Moreover, the LCTIPS rats were more likely than HCTIPS rats to have a markedly higher FM 50-kHz vocalization rate after AMPH reinstatement. N-acetylcysteine did not affect the course of self-administration extinction or the instrumental or FM 50-kHz vocalization responses to AMPH reinstatement.

conclusionsThere is no link between the FM 50-kHz vocalization and key characteristics of AMPH self-administration. Additionally, N-acetylcysteine does not help prevent AMPH self-administration relapse. However, there is a high predictive value for poor sensitization of the FM 50-kHz vocalization response to AMPH with respect to the acquisition and maintenance of self-administration of this psychostimulant.
