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

The hypocretin/orexin (HCRT) system is implicated in reward and reinforcement processes through actions on the mesolimbic dopamine (DA) system. Here we provide evidence for the relationship between HCRT and DA in vivo in anesthetized and freely moving mice. The ability of cocaine to elicit reward-related behaviors in mice lacking the HCRT prepro-peptide (HCRT knock-out; KO) and wild-type controls was determined using conditioned place preference. Using a combination of microdialysis and in vivo fast scan cyclic voltammetry in anesthetized and freely moving mice, we investigated the underlying role of HCRT in the regulation of DA release and uptake. We show that, unlike wild-type mice, HCRT KO mice fail to develop characteristic conditioned place preference for cocaine. These mice also demonstrated reduced DA release and uptake under baseline conditions in both anesthetized and freely moving experiments. Further, diminished DA signaling in HCRT KO mice persists following administration of cocaine. These findings indicate that HCRT is essential for the expression of behaviors associated with the rewarding effects of cocaine, and suggest that HCRT regulation of reward and reinforcement may be related to disruptions to DA neurotransmission.
