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

Objectives: The central nucleus of the amygdala (CeA) is one of the most important areas for the morphine reward system. This study investigated the effect of electrical stimulation of CeA on morphine conditioned place preference (CPP) in male rats. Materials and Methods: After anesthetizing male Wistar rats, both electrode and cannula were implanted into CeA for stimulating (low intensity: 25 μA, and high intensity: 150 μA) and injecting (lidocaine and dopamine D2 receptor antagonist), respectively. Then, CPP induced by effective (5 mg/kg) and ineffective (0.5 mg/kg) doses of morphine was evaluated for five consecutive days (n = 6 / group). Results: The low electrical stimulation intensity of 25 μA suppressed both acquisition and expression phases, but the high intensity of 150 µA attenuated only the expression phase. On the other hand, intra-CeA administration of dopamine D2 receptor antagonist, eticlopride (2 µg/rat), with the effective dose of morphine, decreased CPP. In addition, infusion of lidocaine into the CeA inhibited morphine-induced CPP in both acquisition and expression phases with the effective dose of morphine. Conclusion: Electrical stimulation of the CeA may play an important role in attenuating morphine induced CPP via possible changes in neurotransmitters involved in the reward system such as dopamine (DA) and gamma-aminobutyric acid (GABA).
