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

backgroundMorphine addiction is a growing problem with severe consequences. Interestingly, Insulin-like Growth Factor-1 (IGF-1), a hormone with the ability to modulate neural pathways and exert neuroprotective and regenerative properties, could emerge as a potential treatment. However, to the best of our knowledge, the role of IGF-1 in the extinction and reinstatement phases of morphine induced conditioned place preference (CPP) remains unexplored. Thus, this study aimed to investigate the behavioral and biochemical effects of intracerebroventricular (ICV) IGF-1 administration on extinction and reinstatement after morphine induced CPP and c-Fos expression in nucleus accumbens (NAc).

methodsRats were conditioned with morphine (5 mg/kg, subcutaneously). The study examined alterations in CPP scores after administering varying multiple doses of IGF-1 (5, 10, and 20 µg) daily during the extinction and reinstatement phases of CPP, or single 20 µg dose administration prior to the extinction or prior to the reinstatement phase. Following these procedures, c-Fos levels in the NAc were quantified using the ELISA method.

resultsThe findings revealed that daily administration of IGF-1 at doses of 5, 10, and 20 µg resulted in a dose-dependent reduction in conditioning scores and shorter extinction period. Importantly, only the 20 µg attenuated morphine reinstatement significantly. Additionally, c-Fos levels, which increased following morphine exposure, were markedly reduced by IGF-1 administration across all phases.

conclusionThis study demonstrates that IGF-1 administration could facilitates the extinction and attenuate the reinstatement of morphine-induced CPP, highlighting its potential as a therapeutic strategy in opioid addiction.
