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

Aversion refers to feelings of strong dislike or avoidance toward particular stimuli or situations. Aversion can be caused by pain stimuli and has a long-term negative impact on physical and mental health. Aversion can also be caused by drug abuse withdrawal, resulting in people with substance use disorder to relapse. However, the mechanisms underlying aversion remain unclear. The ventrolateral periaqueductal gray (vlPAG) is considered to play a key role in aversive behavior. Our study showed that inhibition of vlPAG GABAergic neurons significantly attenuated the conditioned place aversion (CPA) induced by hindpaw pain pinch or naloxone-precipitated morphine withdrawal. However, activating or inhibiting glutamatergic neurons, or activating GABAergic neurons cannot affect or alter CPA response. AKAP150 protein expression and phosphorylated TRPV1 (p-TRPV1) were significantly upregulated in these two CPA models. In AKAP150
