Heavy and Chronic Cannabis Addiction does not Impact Motor Function: A BOLD-fMRI Study.
Article in CNS & neurological disorders drug targets, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
objectiveThe goal of this to demonstrate the impact of heavy and chronic cannabis use on brain potential functional control, reorganization, and plasticity in the cortical area.
methods23 cannabis users were convened in 3 groups of users. The first group included 11 volunteers with an average of 15 joins/day; the second group included 6 volunteers with an average of 1.5 joins/day; the third group included 6 volunteers with an average of 2.8 joins/week. Besides, 6 healthy volunteers in the control group, All healthy and cannabis users underwent identical brain BOLD-fMRI assessments of their motor function. Besides, neuropsychological and full biological assessments were achieved.
resultsBOLD-fMRI maps of motor areas were obtained, including quantitative evaluation of the activations in the motor area. A statistical analysis of various groups was achieved.
conclusionGroups of chronic cannabis addiction of varying level of use were setup. Namely heavy, moderate and low users groups; doses have been shown to have systematically equivalent effects on the control of brain motor function. Indeed, the BOLD-fMRI shows a remarkable sensitivity to brain plasticity and reorganization of the functional motor control of the studied cortical area, and such variation was not shown. Specific elucidation of the effect of cannabis effect in this unique function should clarify further protective pharmacological effects. This might illuminate the use of neuronal resources to prepare processes for pharmacological use and pharmaceutical forms. This suggests exploring any potential cannabis pharmaceutical form in diseases involving motor impairments.
