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

Drug abuse is a public health and social problem. A number of studies have reported that drug addiction is associated with microRNAs (miRNAs). By comparing the expression of miRNAs in the serum exosomes of methamphetamine-dependent and ketamine-dependent rats, the aim of the present study was to provide insights into the miRNA-mediated associations between the two groups. Published results on conditioned place preference (CPP) in rats conditioned by methamphetamine and ketamine were replicated. The expression of miRNAs in serum exosomes were determined by gene-chip sequencing. The potential target genes of differentially expressed (DE) co-miRNAs were predicted in the methamphetamine and ketamine rats, then functional analysis of their target genes was performed. Methamphetamine and ketamine reward greatly increased the activity time and distance in the intrinsically non-preferred side of the behavioral apparatus when compared with controlled rats (P<0.01). In addition, methamphetamine upregulated the expression of 276 miRNAs and downregulated 25 miRNAs, while ketamine only downregulated the expression of 267 miRNAs. Ten DE co-miRNAs in the two model groups were identified. Functional analysis revealed that DE co-miRNAs are involved in the development of addiction at different stages, and their target genes were enriched in 'vesicular transport', 'amphetamine addiction', 'dopaminergic synapse' and 'GABAergic synapse'. Therefore, it was suggested that these co-miRNAs may have a strong association with drug addiction, and they may be involved in the different addiction processes, which partly explains methamphetamine and ketamine addiction.
