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

Alcohol use disorder (AUD) is a complex disorder characterized by compulsive alcohol use and a lack of control over alcohol intake. Several experimental methods using mouse models have been developed to improve research regarding this disorder. Mouse behavioral paradigms are advantageous in inducing alcohol dependence and evaluating alcohol intake, circumventing ethical issues, and increasing experimental control over human-based experiments. These behavioral methods typically fall under one of two categories: forced exposure and voluntary consumption. This paper highlights two common paradigms used to study AUD in rodent models: one forced exposure method (use of a vapor inhalation system for alcohol exposure) and one voluntary consumption method (the two-bottle choice procedure). The effectiveness and experimental validity of these behavioral paradigms for pathophysiological investigations of AUD and how they can be combined are also discussed, along with their individual strengths and weaknesses. © 2023 The Authors.
