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

Morphine-associated contextual reward learning promotes maladaptive drug-context associations during opioid exposure. Hederagenin (HE), a bioactive compound from traditional Chinese medicine, has neuroprotective potential, but its role in contextual reward learning remains unclear. Here, we investigated the effects of HE on morphine-induced conditioned place preference (CPP) acquisition and explored its target, downstream signaling, and brain-delivery strategy. HE attenuated morphine CPP acquisition in both sexes and reduced established CPP expression. Chemical proteomics identified the GABAA receptor α1 subunit (GABAA1, encoded by GABRA1) as a prioritized HE-associated target, supported by competitive pull-down, non-permeabilized HE-biotin labeling, microscale thermophoresis, cellular thermal shift assay, and molecular docking. Mechanistically, HE reduced c-Fos activation in ventral tegmental area (VTA) TH-positive dopaminergic neurons, attenuated reward-context-associated VTA calcium responses, suppressed intracellular Ca
