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

Persistent maladaptive drug-context associations are a key component of relapse vulnerability and pose a major obstacle in treating opioid use disorder. Although the dorsal hippocampus (dHPC) is critical for contextual memory formation, the synaptic mechanisms by which opioids alter hippocampal circuits to sustain these associations remain unclear. We previously found that repeated context-paired morphine exposure impairs dHPC long-term potentiation (LTP) through enhanced activity of small-conductance calcium-activated potassium (SK2) channels. Here, we investigated the role of SK2 channels in morphine-context associative learning and memory by combining in vivo electrophysiology, molecular analyses, and behavioral pharmacology with the morphine-conditioned place preference (MorCPP) paradigm in male mice.
