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 addiction is a widespread disease, and the exact causes and consequences are still not fully determined. Neurotransmitters and neuronal circuits are not only the target structure of alcohol and responsible for its direct effects but also play a central role in the development of addiction. A gene that has been linked to alcohol use disorder in recent studies is the ganglioside-induced differentiation-associated protein 1 (GDAP1) gene. The present study focuses on the hippocampus, a brain region particularly vulnerable to alcohol and rich in Gdap1 gene expression. Using an established drinking model, alcohol drinking behavior was induced in adult male Long Evans rats. After 6 weeks of voluntary alcohol intake, followed by 2 weeks of deprivation, the animals were divided into two groups based on the alcohol deprivation effect (ADE). Gdap1 gene expression was measured with real-time PCR in the hippocampus. Results reveal significantly decreased mRNA expression in the high ADE group compared to the low ADE group. This decrease was specifically detected within the cornu ammonis 3 (CA3) region. Gdap1 expression in this region also negatively correlated with ADE in all animals. Taken together, results indicate that Gdap1 might not only be associated with alcohol consumption but might even play a role in alcohol dependence.
