Sex-Specific Concordance of Striatal Transcriptional Signatures of Opioid Addiction in Human and Rodent Brains.
Article in Biological psychiatry global open science, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 4 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
Background: Opioid use disorder (OUD) has emerged as a severe, ongoing public health emergency. Current treatments for OUD are unsuccessful in leading to lasting abstinence in most users. This underscores the lasting effects of chronic opioid use and emphasizes the need to understand the molecular mechanisms of drug seeking and taking and how those alterations persist through acute and protracted withdrawal. Methods: Here, we used RNA sequencing in postmortem human tissue from males ( Results: We found that the molecular signature in the NAc of females with OUD mirrored effects seen in the NAc of female rodents in a nonvolitional paradigm at all stages of exposure. Conversely, males with OUD showed an expression profile similar to that of rodents with volitional exposure but only during the acute withdrawal phase. Shared coexpression networks were involved in posttranscriptional modification of RNA and epigenetic modification of chromatin state. Conclusions: Our results provide fundamental insight into the conserved molecular pathways altered by opioids across species, with evidence suggesting that alterations in females with OUD may be driven by drug exposure, while alterations in males with OUD may be driven by volitional intake.
