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

In recent years, Peroxisome Proliferator-Activated Receptors (PPARs) have been connected to the endocannabinoid system. These nuclear receptors indeed mediate the effects of anandamide and similar substances such as oleoyl-ethanolamide and palmitoyl-ethanolamide. An increasing body of literature describing the interactions between the endocannabinoid system and PPARs has slowly but surely been accumulating over the past decade, and a multitarget approach involving these receptors and endocannabinoid degrading enzyme FAAH has been proposed for the treatment of inflammatory states, cancer, and Alzheimer's disease. The lack of knowledge about compounds endowed with such an activity profile therefore led us to investigate a library of readily available, well-characterized PPAR agonists that we had synthesized over the years in order to find a plausible lead compound for further development. Moreover, we propose a rationalization of our results via a docking study, which sheds some light on the binding mode of these PPAR agonists to FAAH and opens the way for further research in this field.
