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

Compulsive alcohol consumption is a core, treatment-resistant feature of alcohol use disorder. The dorsomedial and dorsolateral striatum support goal-directed and habitual action strategies, respectively. How ethanol targets dorsolateral striatum to drive compulsive consumption is poorly understood. Parvalbumin-expressing striatal fast-spiking interneurons comprise ~1% of the total neuronal striatal population, are enriched dorsolaterally and are functionally modulated by ethanol. To test whether fast-spiking interneurons are necessary for the development of compulsive ethanol consumption, we selectively ablated these neurons in adult male and female C57BL/6 J mice undergoing a voluntary chronic intermittent ethanol consumption paradigm followed by a compulsive ethanol drinking assay. Fast-spiking interneuron ablation curtailed the development of organized ethanol lick sequence behavior, reduced ethanol consumption, and abrogated compulsive consumption of ethanol with the added bitterant quinine. In contrast, fast-spiking interneuron ablation did not affect any index of water or sucrose consumption. These data causally implicate the minority striatal fast-spiking interneuron population as a key component of compulsive ethanol consumption.
