Assessing nicotine dependence using an oral nicotine free-choice paradigm in mice.

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
Models to assess the addictive-like properties of nicotine in mice are limited. Therefore, we aimed to characterize and validate an addiction index by using an oral nicotine free-choice paradigm in mice. Adult C57BL/6J, DBA/2J, or genetically modified mice carrying deletions for nicotinic acetylcholine receptor (nAChR) subunits, (n = 8-10/sex/group) were given a choice of water or nicotine (10-960 μg/ml) solution using a two-bottle free-choice (2BC) paradigm. In general, oral nicotine intake and preference were higher in female mice compared to males. Absence of nicotine led to withdrawal, and intermittent access resulted in an escalation in consumption and greater nicotine withdrawal than continuous exposure. Additionally, oral nicotine consumption increased nucleus accumbens tyrosine hydroxylase levels. While β2 and α6 KO mice showed a significant decrease in nicotine intake, deletion of α5 nAChRs increased nicotine consumption at high concentrations. Deletion of the α7 subunit altered the observed sex difference in nicotine consumption, with females consuming less than males. The α4β2 partial agonist varenicline decreased oral nicotine consumption. Although addition of quinine to the nicotine solution lowered nicotine intake, mice primed with nicotine did not lower their intake after quinine addition. Nicotine deprivation followed by re-exposure showed increased nicotine consumption, and DBA/2J mice consumed less nicotine compared to C57BL/6J. We validated the mouse 2BC paradigm to study nicotine's addictive-like properties including nicotine intake, preference, withdrawal, and escalation of nicotine consumption during binge drinking or after reinstatement of a deprivation period.
