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

Model-based prediction on clinical doses for cannabinoids therapy is beneficial in the clinical setting, especially for seriously ill patients with both altered pharmacokinetics and pharmacodynamic responses. The objective of this article is to review the currently available PK and/or PD models of Δ9-tetrahydrocannabinol (THC) and cannabidiol (CBD) and to highlight the major issues for modelling this complex therapeutic area. A systematic search was conducted in the electronic databases PubMed and EMBASE using the key words 'cannabis', 'cannabinoid', 'tetrahydrocannabinol', 'THC', 'cannabidiol', 'CBD', 'pharmacokinetic model', 'pharmacodynamics model' and their combinations. Twelve empirical PK and/or PD models for THC for humans were identified. Among them, ten were developed from data of healthy participants and two were from ill patients. Models for CBD were not found. Model-based prediction on appropriate doses for cannabinoids therapy for ill patients is currently limited due to insufficiency of relevant PK and PD data. High-quality PK and PD data of cannabinoids for patients with different illnesses is needed for model development. Mechanism-based PK and PD models are promising for improved predictive dosing performance for ill and comorbid patients.
