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

Kappa opioid receptor agonists are clinically used to treat pruritis and have therapeutic potential for the treatment of pain and neuropsychiatric disorders. We have previously shown that triazole 1.1 is a G protein signaling-biased KOR agonist, that can suppress itch without producing signs of sedation in mice. This profile was recapitulated in rats and non-human primates however, triazole 1.1 had limited potency as an antipruritic. Here we describe a more potent, G protein signaling-biased agonist, triazole 187. Triazole 187 is a potent antipruritic agent and does not decrease spontaneous locomotor activity; interestingly, it produces anxiolytic-like behaviors in mice, an effect not observed for triazole 1.1. In addition to curbing sedation, triazole 187 produces only mild diuresis, resulting in 30% of urine output induced by U50,488H at dose that is 188-fold the antipruritic potency dose. Compounds like triazole 187 may present a means to treat anxiety accompanied by persistent chronic itch while avoiding sedation and diuresis accompanied by typical KOR agonists. Abstract Figure:
