IUPHAR Article: Psilocybin induces long-lasting effects via 5-HT
Article in Pharmacological research, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 6 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
Chronic pain is a debilitating disease with current treatments lacking efficacy and safety, therefore discovery of new treatments is crucial. Initial studies suggest that psychedelics may be feasible for targeting pain, however clinical and preclinical controlled studies are necessary to further investigate that possibility. In this study we assessed the effects of two classical psychedelics psilocybin and 2,5-Dimethoxy-4-iodoamphetamine (DOI) in two models of chronic pain after systemic administration in male and female mice. Psilocybin and DOI dose-dependently reversed mechanical and cold hypersensitivity in the chemotherapy-induced peripheral neuropathy (CIPN) mouse model with different time-course of action. Similarly, psilocybin and DOI dose-dependently reversed thermal hypersensitivity in the chronic inflammatory mouse model of Complete Freud's Adjuvant (CFA). The effects of Psilocybin and DOI in both models were mediated by activation of 5-HT
