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

Bioassay-guided fractionation of a collection of Moorea bouillonii from Papua New Guinea led to the isolation of a new alkyl amide, mooreamide A (1), along with the cytotoxic apratoxins A-C and E. The planar structure of 1 was elucidated by NMR spectroscopy and mass spectrometry analysis. Structural homology between mooreamide A and the endogenous cannabinoid ligands, anandamide, and 2-arachidonoyl glycerol inspired its evaluation against the neuroreceptors CB(1) and CB(2). Mooreamide A was found to possess relatively potent and selective ligand binding activity to CB(1) (K(1) = 0.47 µM) versus CB(2) (K(1) > 25 µM). This represents the most potent marine-derived CB(1) ligand described to date and adds to the growing family of marine metabolites that exhibit cannabinomimetic activity.
