High dose administration of DREADD agonist JHU37160 produces increases in anxiety-like behavior in male rats.
Article in Behavioural brain research, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 4 papers.
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
Designer receptors exclusively activated by designer drugs (DREADDs) are a promising tool for analyzing neural circuitry, and improved DREADD-selective ligands continue to be developed. Relative to clozapine-N-oxide (CNO), JHU37160 is a selective DREADD agonist recently shown to exhibit higher blood brain barrier penetrance and DREADD selectivity in vivo; however, relatively few studies have characterized the behavioral effects of systemic JHU37160 administration in animals. Here, we report a dose-dependent anxiogenic effect of systemic JHU37160 in male Wistar and Long-Evans rats, regardless of DREADD expression, with no impact on locomotor behavior. These results suggest that high dose (1 mg/kg) JHU37160 should be avoided when performing chemogenetic experiments designed to evaluate circuit manipulation on anxiety-like behavior in rats.
