Signaling underlying kappa opioid receptor-mediated behaviors in rodents.
Review in Frontiers in neuroscience, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 10 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
Kappa opioid receptor (KOR) agonists are potentially useful as analgesic and anti-pruritic agents, for prevention and treatment of substance use disorders, and for treatment of demyelinating diseases. However, side effects of KOR agonists, including psychotomimesis, dysphoria, and sedation, have caused early termination of clinical trials. Understanding the signaling mechanisms underlying the beneficial therapeutic effects and the adverse side effects may help in the development of KOR agonist compounds. In this review, we summarize the current knowledge in this regard in five sections. First, studies conducted on mutant mouse lines (GRK3-/-, p38alpha MAPK-/-, β-arrestin2-/-, phosphorylation-deficient KOR) are summarized. In addition, the abilities of four distinct KOR agonists, which have analgesic and anti-pruritic effects with different side effect profiles, to cause KOR phosphorylation are discussed. Second, investigations on the KOR agonist nalfurafine, both
