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
Tramadol is an opioid commonly prescribed for the treatment of moderate to severe pain and its abuse creates addiction. According to WHO, 36 million people worldwide suffer from disorders related to drug abuse. Among the consume substances, opioid such as Tramadol, is one of the most used. Therefore, the aim of this study was to evaluate gender variation in response to tramadol abuse. Tramadol (50 mg/kg, p.o) was administered to 28 Wistar rats from both sexes (14 males and 14 females) to induce addictive behavior and was assessed for 12 days on the conditioned place preference (CPP) test. Hyperactivity and risk taking linked to addiction were also assessed on the Elevated plus maze (EPM). On day 12 one hour after the CPP, animals were sacrificed by cervical dislocation and, striatum and hippocampus were collected for biochemicals assay (dopamine, GABA, nitric oxide and malondialdehyde). Tramadol intake induced dependency to tramadol and addictive seeking behavior in CPP in both sexes. Hyperactivity and risk taking assessed on EPM were present in both sexes. Tramadol increased dopamine and reduced GABA in both sexes and increased the malondialdehyde and nitric oxide production. Generally, variations were greater in females. So, these results suggest that pubescent female adolescents showed greater susceptibility to Tramadol abuse induced addictive behavior than males at least in the basic parameters assessed.
