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

objectiveThe present investigation tested the association of a novel measure of brain activation recorded during a simple motor inhibition task with a GRM8 genetic locus implicated in risk for substance dependence.

methods122 European-American adults were genotyped at rs1361995 and evaluated against DSM-IV criteria for Alcohol Dependence, Cocaine Dependence, Conduct Disorder, and Antisocial Personality Disorder. Also, their brain activity was recorded in response to rare, so-called "No-Go" stimuli presented during a continuous performance test. Brain activity was quantified with two indices: (1) the amplitude of the No-Go P300 electroencephalographic response averaged across trials; and (2) the inter-trial variability of the response.

resultsThe absence of the minor allele at the candidate locus was associated with all of the evaluated diagnoses. In comparison to minor allele carriers, major allele homozygotes also demonstrated increased inter-trial variability in No-Go P300 response amplitude but no difference in average amplitude.

conclusionsGRM8 genotype is associated with Alcohol and Cocaine Dependence as well as personality risk factors for dependence. The association may be mediated through an inherited instability in brain function that affects cognitive control. SIGNIFICANCE: The present study focuses on a metric and brain mechanism not typically considered or theorized in studies of patients with substance use disorders.
