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 endocannabinoid (eCB) signaling system modulates neurotransmission and inflammation, among other physiological functions. Its newest member, α/β-hydrolase domain-containing 6 (ABHD6), has emerged as a promising therapeutic target to treat several devastating diseases, including epilepsy. Here, we review the molecular mechanisms that mediate and control eCB signaling and, within it, the specific role of ABHD6. We also discuss how ABHD6 controls the abundance of additional lipids and the trafficking of ionotropic receptors to plasma membranes. We finish with several unexplored questions regarding this novel enzyme. Our current understanding of the molecular mechanism and biological function of ABHD6 provides a strong foundation for the development of small-molecule therapeutics to treat devastating diseases.
