Table 3:

Raw data values and summary of behavioral changes in naloxone precipitated withdrawal. Note that higher acetone and grimace scores, but lower heat withdrawal latencies indicate more pain. Arrows indicate change in fentanyl relative to saline groups. Values shown are median with 95% CI, followed by minimum, maximum, standard deviation, and sample size.
