Effects of adolescent methylphenidate administration on methamphetamine conditioned place preference in an animal model of attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder: Examination of potential sex differences.
Article in Drug and alcohol dependence, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 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
backgroundIndividuals with attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) are more likely to be diagnosed with a substance use disorder; however, the effects of long-term psychostimulant treatment on addiction are mixed. Preclinical studies are useful for further elucidating the relationship between ADHD and addiction-like behaviors, but these studies have focused on male subjects only. The goal of the current study was to determine if early-life administration of methylphenidate (MPH) augments methamphetamine (METH) conditioned place preference (CPP) and/or potentiates reinstatement of CPP in both male and female rats.
methodsMale and female spontaneously hypertensive rats (SHRs) and Wistar-Kyoto rats (WKYs) received either MPH (1.5mg/kg; p.o.) or vehicle (1.0ml/kg) during adolescence (postnatal day [PND] ~29-57). Two weeks after cessation of MPH treatment, rats were tested for METH CPP (1.0mg/kg or 2.0mg/kg; s.c.). Rats were then given extinction sessions. Once rats met extinction criteria, they were tested for reinstatement of CPP following a priming injection of METH (0.25mg/kg; s.c.).
resultsAll groups developed METH CPP, except vehicle-treated SHR males and vehicle-treated WKY females conditioned with the higher dose of METH (2.0mg/kg). Female SHRs treated with MPH showed greater reinstatement of METH CPP compared to female SHRs treated with vehicle. Adolescent MPH treatment did not augment the locomotor-stimulant effects of METH in adulthood.
conclusionsThese results demonstrate the importance of considering biological sex when prescribing psychostimulant medications for ADHD as long-term MPH administration may increase the risk of continued drug use in females with ADHD following a period of abstinence.
