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

Cocaine use disorder is a major healthcare issue with no effective FDA-approved treatments. Cocaine exerts its effects - in part - by blocking dopamine transporters (DAT) and subsequently dysregulating DAT function. Several molecular targets have been identified as key regulators of DAT function and expression including dopamine D3 receptors (D3R) that are highly expressed in the mesolimbic dopamine pathway. Although D3R partial agonists and antagonists have been shown to influence cocaine seeking in rodents, effects have been inconsistent with studies reporting varying outcomes on cocaine-associated behavior. In this study, we tested the effects of SK609, a novel G-protein biased D3R agonist, and pramipexole, an unbiased agonist of D3R, on DAT expression and function and cocaine-seeking behavior. Results indicated that SK609 reduced phosphorylation of DATs following cocaine and the uptake inhibition effects of cocaine on dopamine transmission in
