Antinociceptive effects of JWH015 in female and male rats.
Article in Behavioural pharmacology, 2018. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 7 papers.
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.
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
Despite greater chronic pain prevalence in females compared with males, and the analgesic potential of cannabinoid receptor type 2 (CB2) agonists, CB2 agonists have rarely been tested in females. The aim of the present study was to compare the antinociceptive effects of a CB2-preferring agonist, (2-methyl-1-propyl-1H-indol-3-yl)-1-naphthalenylmethanone (JWH015), in female and male rats against acute pain and persistent inflammatory pain. JWH015 (5-20 mg/kg, intraperitoneally) produced dose-dependent and time-dependent increases in latency to respond on the tail withdrawal and paw pressure tests that did not differ statistically between the sexes. JWH015 dose-dependently decreased locomotor activity in both sexes, but was more potent in females than males. JWH015 produced little catalepsy in either sex. In females, the antinociceptive effects of JWH015 against acute pain were blocked by rimonabant and SR144528, whereas locomotor suppression was antagonized by rimonabant. When administered 3 days after intraplantar injection of complete Freund's adjuvant, JWH015 produced a significantly greater antiallodynic effect in females at the highest dose tested (10 mg/kg, intraperitoneally). Antiallodynic effects of JWH015 were antagonized by rimonabant and SR144528 in both sexes. These studies indicate that systemically administered JWH015 produced antinociception that was both CB1 and CB2 receptor-mediated in both sexes. Unlike [INCREMENT]-9-tetrahydrocannabinol and other nonselective cannabinoid agonists, the CB2-preferring agonist JWH015 may produce more equivalent antinociception in females and males.
