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

Our knowledge of the function of the cannabinoid system in the body has been aided by the availability of pharmacological agents that affect its function. This has been achieved by the design of agents that either directly interact with the receptor (agonists and antagonist/inverse agonists) and agents that indirectly modulate the receptor output by changing the levels of the endogenous cannabinoids (endocannabinoids). In this review, examples of the most commonly used receptor agonists, antagonists/inverse agonists, and indirectly acting agents (anandamide uptake inhibitors, fatty acid amide hydrolase inhibitors, monoacylglycerol lipase inhibitors) are given, with particular focus upon their selectivity and, in the case of the directly acting compounds, efficacy. Finally, the links between the endocannabinoid and cyclooxygenase pathways are explored, in particular, with respect to agents whose primary function is to inhibit cyclooxygenase activity, but which also interact with the endocannabinoid system.
