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

Individual differences in the sensitivity and response to drugs of abuse are reliably associated with later patterns of substance use and, for some, progression to a substance use disorder diagnosis. This review synthesizes human drug challenge, longitudinal, and translational animal evidence to characterize how early or initial sensitivity to drugs, shaped by heritable and developmental factors, may relate to subsequent risk. These initial responses, through associative learning, may influence how drug-paired cues acquire motivational significance over time. Ample evidence suggests that early response variability is a biologically grounded and measurable correlate of SUD vulnerability, detectable well before chronic neuroadaptation, with potential utility for targeted prevention and intervention efforts.
