Pharmacokinetic Profiles and Pharmacodynamic Effects for Methylone and Its Metabolites in Rats.
Article in Neuropsychopharmacology : official publication of the American College of Neuropsychopharmacology, 2017. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 23 papers.
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
3,4-Methylenedioxy-N-methylcathinone (methylone) is a new psychoactive substance and the β-keto analog of 3,4-methylenedioxy-N-methylamphetamine (MDMA). It is well established that MDMA metabolism produces bioactive metabolites. Here we tested the hypothesis that methylone metabolism in rats can form bioactive metabolites. First, we examined the pharmacokinetics (PKs) of methylone and its metabolites after subcutaneous (sc) methylone administration (3, 6, 12 mg/kg) to male rats fitted with intravenous (iv) catheters for repeated blood sampling. Plasma specimens were assayed by liquid chromatography tandem mass spectrometry to quantify methylone and its phase I metabolites: 3,4-methylenedioxycathinone (MDC), 3,4-dihydroxy-N-methylcathinone (HHMC), and 4-hydroxy-3-methoxy-N-methylcathinone (HMMC). The biological activity of methylone and its metabolites was then compared using in vitro transporter assays and in vivo microdialysis in rat nucleus accumbens. For the PK study, we found that methylone and MDC peaked early (T
