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

Background: Adolescent-onset cannabis use confers higher risk for neuropsychiatric disorders, implicating amygdala dysfunction. However, the mechanisms that mediate Δ Methods: Proteomic analysis of amygdala tissue from male adolescent Results: THC-induced upregulation of GFAP and complement factor-B (CF-B) signified proinflammatory glial activation exclusively in the adolescent amygdala, an effect absent in other brain regions and in adults. THC attenuated synaptic plasticity enhancers, stathmin-1 and NrCAM, effects not recapitulated in adults. Co-administered cannabidiol (CBD) prevented astrogliosis but did not restore synaptic plasticity marker levels. Astrogliosis was correlated with fragmented sleep, and attenuated plasticity markers were correlated with anxiety. THC-induced GFAP and CF-B upregulation with attenuation by CBD were replicated in cultured astrocytes, requiring cannabinoid type 1 receptor (CB1R)-activated calcium signaling. Elevated CB1R expression in the maturing brain was astrocyte-localized in the amygdala, but neuronal in the cortex and striatum. Conclusions: Brain region- and age-specific regulation of CB1R in astrocytes critically links THC and unique adolescent amygdala vulnerability to inflammatory gliosis, impairing behaviors implicated in neuropsychiatric disorders. Mitigation of specific THC-induced changes by CBD offers leads for attenuating some adverse effects of THC.
