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

CB(1) receptors mediate the CNS effects of Delta(9)-tetrahydrocannabinol and synthetic cannabinoids. Previous studies have investigated cannabinoid-mediated G-protein activity in a subset of brain regions thought to mediate the behavioral effects of cannabinoids, but a detailed regional comparison of the effects of multiple ligands has not been conducted. This study used a novel approach, Statistical Parametric Mapping (SPM), to analyze 3D reconstructed brain images derived from agonist-stimulated [(35)S]GTPgammaS autoradiography in a whole-brain unbiased manner. SPM analysis demonstrated regional differences in the relative efficacies of cannabinoid agonists methanandamide (M-AEA), CP55,940 (CP) and WIN55,212-2 (WIN) in CB(1)(+/+) mouse brains. To assess the potential contribution of novel cannabinoid binding sites, experiments were performed in CB(1)(-/-) mouse brains. SPM analysis revealed that the aminoalkylindole WIN, but not the bicyclic cannabinoid CP or the endocannabinoid analogue M-AEA, stimulated [(35)S]GTPgammaS binding in cortex, hippocampus, hypothalamus, amygdala, cerebellum and certain brainstem areas (dorsal tegmental complex and locus coeruleus). No differences between WIN-stimulated G-protein activity and basal activity were found in basal ganglia. Pharmacological experiments using the CB(1) antagonist SR141716A in CB(1)(+/+) mice showed that SR141716A blocked WIN-stimulated G-protein activity in all brain regions, suggesting that it binds to both CB(1) and putative non-CB(1) sites. These studies show ligand and region-specific cannabinoid-mediated G-protein activity at both CB(1) and non-CB(1) sites and demonstrate that SPM is a powerful approach for the analysis of reconstructed brain imaging data derived from agonist-stimulated [(35)S]GTPgammaS autoradiography.
