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 recent recreational use of synthetic cannabinoid ligands, collectively referred to as 'Spice', has raised concerns about their safety and possible differences in their biological effect(s) from marijuana/Δ-tetrahydrocannabinol (THC). AM2201, a highly efficacious, potent cannabinoid receptor 1 (CB1R) agonist, is a recently detected compound in 'Spice' preparations. Furthermore, structural analogs of AM2201 are now being found in 'Spice'. The present studies were conducted to investigate their Δ-THC-like effects using drug (Δ-THC) discrimination in rats. Results show that the tested compounds were potent cannabinergics that generalized to the response to Δ-THC, with AM2201 being most potent, exhibiting a 14-fold potency difference over Δ-THC. The other analogs were between 2.5-fold and 4-fold more potent than THC. Surmountable antagonism of AM2201 with the selective CB1R antagonist/inverse agonist rimonabant also established that the discrimination is CB1R dependent. Time-course data reveal that AM2201 likely peaks rapidly with an in-vivo functional half-life of only 60 min. The present data confirm and extend previous observations regarding Δ-THC-like effects of 'Spice' components.
