In one paragraph

Review in Molecular neurobiology, 2007. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 26 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled it.

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

This review discusses clinical and preclinical evidence that supports the use of cannabinoid receptor agonists for the management of multiple sclerosis. In addition, it considers preclinical findings that suggest that as well as ameliorating signs and symptoms of multiple sclerosis, cannabinoid CB(1) and/or CB(2) receptor activation may suppress some of the pathological changes that give rise to these signs and symptoms. Evidence that the endocannabinoid system plays a protective role in multiple sclerosis is also discussed as are potential pharmacological strategies for enhancing such protection in the clinic.
