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

introductionIt is well known that opiate addiction is a neurobiological disease associated with dysregulation of multiple neurotransmitters and neurochemicals. Previous

methodsIn-vivo

resultsMorphine induced significant changes in the concentrations of a number of metabolites in both mPFC and NAc. The glutamine component of the glutamine-glutamate-GABA excitatory-inhibitory cycle, increased in both mPFC and NAc. Significant increase in glutamate was also observed at mPFC, but not in NAc. The phosphocreatine, marker for energy metabolism, and the N-acetylaspartate marker for neuronal viability and energy metabolism decreased significantly in both mPFC and NAc. Glycerophosphocholine + phosphocholine, markers for cell membrane integrity, increased significantly in both NAc and mPFC after morphine. The antioxidant neurometabolites taurine and glutathione increased significantly in NAc; however, taurine decreased, and glutathione was unchanged in mPFC after morphine. Inositol, a marker for neuroinflammation, increased significantly in NAc.

conclusionThe present study is the first in-vivo
