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

Purpose: This study investigated the effects of prenatal co-exposure to alcohol and synthetic cannabinoids on offspring viability, physical development, and neurobehavioral outcomes in young adulthood. The goal of this investigation was to determine whether prenatal co-exposure produced distinct outcomes from single-drug exposures, including sex-specific vulnerabilities in motor coordination and exploratory behaviors. Methods: Pregnant C57Bl/6 J mice were randomly assigned to one of four treatment groups: drug-free controls, alcohol (ALC)-exposed, cannabinoid (CP-55,940, CB)-exposed or ALC+CB-exposed, with drug exposure occurring between Gestational Days 12-15. Offspring viability, physical malformations, and developmental delays were first assessed at birth. Then, behavioral evaluations, including rotarod and open field tests, were conducted on young adult offspring (Postnatal Days 100-120). Results: ALC+CB exposure significantly decreased litter survival ( Conclusions: Prenatal co-exposure to alcohol and synthetic cannabinoids exacerbated offspring mortality and induced sex-specific deficits in neurobehavioral motor outcomes. These findings highlight the distinct risks of polysubstance exposure during pregnancy and underscore the need for targeted interventions to mitigate the effects of prenatal polysubstance exposure on offspring health outcomes.
