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

Brain monoamines are involved in many of the same processes affected by neuropsychiatric disorders and psychotropic drugs, including cannabinoids. This study investigated in vitro effects of cannabinoids on the activity of monoamine oxidase (MAO), the enzyme responsible for metabolism of monoamine neurotransmitters and affecting brain development and function. The effects of the phytocannabinoid Delta(9)-tetrahydrocannabinol (THC), the endocannabinoid anandamide (N-arachidonoylethanolamide [AEA]), and the synthetic cannabinoid receptor agonist WIN 55,212-2 (WIN) on the activity of MAO were measured in a crude mitochondrial fraction isolated from pig brain cortex. Monoamine oxidase activity was inhibited by the cannabinoids; however, higher half maximal inhibitory concentrations (IC(50)) of cannabinoids were required compared to the known MAO inhibitor iproniazid. The IC(50) was 24.7 micromol/l for THC, 751 micromol/l for AEA, and 17.9 micromol/l for WIN when serotonin was used as substrate (MAO-A), and 22.6 micromol/l for THC, 1,668 micromol/l for AEA, and 21.2 micromol/l for WIN when phenylethylamine was used as substrate (MAO-B). The inhibition of MAOs by THC was noncompetitive. N-Arachidonoylethanolamide was a competitive inhibitor of MAO-A and a noncompetitive inhibitor of MAO-B. WIN was a noncompetitive inhibitor of MAO-A and an uncompetitive inhibitor of MAO-B. Monoamine oxidase activity is affected by cannabinoids at relatively high drug concentrations, and this effect is inhibitory. Decrease of MAO activity may play a role in some effects of cannabinoids on serotonergic, noradrenergic, and dopaminergic neurotransmission.
