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

Cannabinoid receptor agonists increase eating in a dose-dependent manner. However, the behavioral mechanisms by which cannabinoids modulate food intake control aren't clear, particularly in females. We utilized a rodent model of cannabinoid administration modeling a common route of cannabinoid consumption in humans: edibles. Herein, we administered the dual cannabinoid receptor agonist CP55940 in edible form to female rats and observed acute increases in standard chow intake due to an increase in meal size with no change in meal number. We further observed that the hyperphagic dose of edible CP55940 increases impulsive responding for sucrose, but this did not coincide with changes in motivation for sucrose. Finally, cannabinoids can affect anxiety-like behavior, but the acutely hyperphagic dose used in our studies had no effect on anxiety-like behavior. We conclude that edible cannabinoid administration delays satiation and increases impulsive eating behavior without impacting food motivation, potentially by reducing inhibitory control.
