Chronic methamphetamine-induced neurodegeneration: Differential vulnerability of ventral tegmental area and substantia nigra pars compacta dopamine neurons.
Article in Neuropharmacology, 2021. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 9 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
Methamphetamine (meth) increases monoamine oxidase (MAO)-dependent mitochondrial stress in substantia nigra pars compacta (SNc) axons; chronic administration produces SNc degeneration that is prevented by MAO inhibition suggesting that MAO-dependent axonal mitochondrial stress is a causal factor. To test whether meth similarly increases mitochondrial stress in ventral tegmental area (VTA) axons, we used a genetically encoded redox biosensor to assess mitochondrial stress ex vivo. Meth increased MAO-dependent mitochondrial stress in both SNc and VTA axons. However, despite having the same meth-induced stress as SNc neurons, VTA neurons were resistant to chronic meth-induced degeneration indicating that meth-induced MAO-dependent mitochondrial stress in axons was necessary but not sufficient for degeneration. To determine whether L-type Ca
