The Orexin System in Addiction: Neuromodulatory Interactions and Therapeutic Potential.
Review in Brain sciences, 2025. 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
According to the World Drug Report, there are nearly 300 million drug users globally. Drug addiction is a chronic, relapsing brain disease that leads to medical, psychological, and social complications. This neuropsychiatric disorder is characterized by a compulsive drug-seeking behavior, continued use despite harmful consequence, and long-lasting changes in the brain. The reward system, which involves dopaminergic circuits, plays a key role in addiction. Dopamine levels have been described to fluctuate throughout the day, in a circadian fashion, and the effects of drugs have been shown to depend on the time when they are used. Hence, due to its important role in the control of circadian rhythms, the orexinergic system seems to have a role in the regulation of addiction. This system is composed by the orexin receptors 1 and 2 (OX
