Role of the GABA
Article in Psychopharmacology, 2020. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 6 papers.
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
rationaleCompulsive cocaine use, defined as the continued use despite the dire consequences, is a hallmark of cocaine addiction. Thus, understanding the brain mechanism regulating the compulsive cocaine-seeking and cocaine-taking behaviors is essential to understand cocaine addiction and the key to identification of the molecular targets for the development of medications against this condition.
objectiveThis study aimed to determine how the GABA
methodsMale Wistar outbred rats were trained to self-administer intravenous cocaine (0.4 mg/kg/infusion) under a chained schedule. The compulsive cocaine-seeking behavior was measured as the cocaine-seeking behavior in the face of footshock punishment. The role of the GABA receptors of CeA in the regulation of such behavior was determined by measuring the dose-dependent effects of the GABA
resultsThe cocaine-seeking behavior was inhibited by footshock punishment in an intensity-dependent manner. Both muscimol and baclofen dose-dependently increased the punished cocaine-seeking behavior. However, the potency of muscimol but not baclofen was negatively correlated with the effects of punishment.
conclusionThese data indicate that the CeA GABA
