Exploring Novel Pharmacotherapy Candidates for Cannabis Use Disorder: Uncovering Promising Agents on the Horizon by Mechanism of Action.
Review in Drugs, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 4 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
With rapid expansion of cannabis legalization worldwide, rates of cannabis use and cannabis use disorder (CUD) are increasing; the need for safe and effective medications to treat CUD is urgent. This narrative review evaluates evidence for promising pharmacotherapies to treat CUD from randomized, placebo-controlled trials. Pharmacotherapies for CUD are categorized based on compound targets (e.g., cannabinoid receptor 1 [CB1] agonists such as nabilone, serotonergic compounds such as bupropion, GABAergic compounds such as zolpidem) and outcomes are organized by predetermined withdrawal symptoms, cannabis craving, and cannabis relapse/use. Most promising pharmacotherapies for CUD are drugs that act on the endocannabinoid system and specifically at the CB1 receptor. Priority populations such as females, certain racial/ethnic groups, and age groups experience a different course of CUD progression, symptoms, and drug effects that are important to consider when evaluating outcomes related to CUD. Possible explanations for these disparities are explored, along with the clinical trials that explore these demographics in treating CUD with pharmacotherapies.
