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

backgroundA major advancement in the field of analgesic pharmacology has been the development of G-protein-biased opioid agonists that display less respiratory depression than conventional drugs. It is uncertain, however, whether these new drugs cause less tolerance, hyperalgesia, and other maladaptations when administered repeatedly.

methodsThe archetypical µ-opioid receptor agonist morphine and, separately, the G-protein-biased µ-opioid receptor agonist oliceridine were administered to mice. These drugs were used in models of acute analgesia, analgesic tolerance, opioid-induced hyperalgesia, reward, and physical dependence. In addition, morphine and oliceridine were administered for 7 days after tibia fracture and pinning; mechanical allodynia and gait were followed for 3 weeks. Finally, the expression of toll-like receptor-4 and nacht domain-, leucine-rich repeat-, and pyrin domain-containing protein 3 (NALP3) and interleukin-1β mRNA were quantified in spinal tissue to measure surgical and drug effects on glia-related gene expression.

resultsWe observed using the tail flick assay that oliceridine was a 4-fold more potent analgesic than morphine, but that oliceridine treatment caused less tolerance and opioid-induced hyperalgesia than morphine after 4 days of ascending-dose administration. Using similar analgesic doses, morphine caused reward behavior in the conditioned place preference assay while oliceridine did not. Physical dependence was, however, similar for the 2 drugs. Likewise, morphine appeared to more significantly impair the recovery of nociceptive sensitization and gait after tibial fracture and pinning than oliceridine. Furthermore, spinal cord toll-like receptor-4 levels 3 weeks after fracture were higher in fracture mice given morphine than those given oliceridine.

conclusionsAside from reduced respiratory depression, G-protein-biased agonists such as oliceridine may reduce opioid maladaptations and enhance the quality of surgical recovery.
