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

Glutamatergic neurotransmission within the brain's reward circuits plays a major role in the reinforcing properties of both ethanol and cocaine. Glutamate homeostasis is regulated by several glutamate transporters, including glutamate transporter type 1 (GLT-1), cystine/glutamate transporter (xCT), and glutamate aspartate transporter (GLAST). Cocaine exposure has been shown to induce a dysregulation in glutamate homeostasis and a decrease in the expression of GLT-1 and xCT in the nucleus accumbens (NAc). In this study, alcohol preferring (P) rats were exposed to free-choice of ethanol (15% and 30%) and/or water for five weeks. On Week 6, rats were administered (i.p.) cocaine (10 and 20mg/kg) or saline for 12 consecutive days. This study tested two groups of rats: the first group was euthanized after seven days of repeated cocaine i.p. injection, and the second group was deprived from cocaine for five days and euthanized at Day 5 after cocaine withdrawal. Only repeated cocaine (20mg/kg, i.p.) exposure decreased ethanol intake from Day 3 through Day 8. Co-exposure of cocaine and ethanol decreased the relative mRNA expression and the expression of GLT-1 in the NAc but not in the medial prefrontal cortex (mPFC). Importantly, co-exposure of cocaine and ethanol decreased relative expression of xCT in the NAc but not in the mPFC. Our findings demonstrated that chronic cocaine exposure affects ethanol intake; and ethanol and cocaine co-abuse alters the expression of glial glutamate transporters.
