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

The metabolic intermediate and endocannabinoid signaling lipid 2-arachidonoylglycerol (2-AG) has not been readily labeled, primarily because of its instability toward rearrangement. We now detail a synthetic method that easily gives tritiated 2-AG from [5,6,8,9,11,12,14,15-(3)H(N)]arachidonic acid in two steps. We utilized a short chain 1,3-diacylglycerol and proceeded through the "structured lipid" [5'',6'',8'',9'',11'',12'',14'',15''-(3)H(N)]2-arachidonoyl-1,3-dibutyrylglycerol, a triacylglycerol that was conveniently deprotected in ethanol with acrylic beads containing Candida antarctica lipase B to give [5'',6'',8'',9'',11'',12'',14'',15''-(3)H(N)]2-arachidonoylglycerol ([(3)H]2-AG). The flash chromatographic separation necessary to isolate the labeled 2-acylglycerol [(3)H]2-AG resulted in only 4% of the rearrangement byproducts that have been a particular problem with previous methodologies. This reliable "kit" method to prepare the radiolabeled endocannabinoid as needed gave tritiated 2-arachidonoylglycerol [(3)H]2-AG with a specific activity of 200 Ci/mmol for enzyme assays, metabolic studies, and tissue imaging. It has been run on unlabeled materials on over 10 mg scales and should be generally applicable to other 2-acylglycerols.
