Effects of cannabidiol to circadian period, sleep, life span, close-proximity rhythm, egg reproduction and motor function in Drosophila melanogaster.
Article in Biogerontology, 2025. 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
Cannabidiol (CBD), a non-psychoactive cannabinoid, has been studied for its various health-promoting effects recently. This study investigates the effects of dietary CBD to the circadian clock of Drosophila melanogaster as a model animal and its many physiological effect to flies. We showed that CBD extended the period of locomotor activity in a dose-dependent manner, suggesting its influence on the circadian clock. Additionally, CBD improved sleep quality and extended lifespan under starvation conditions. The study also revealed enhanced rhythmicity in Close Proximity (CP) rhythm and increased eggs reproduction with dietary CBD supplementation. Furthermor, CBD attenuates age-related motor dysfunction in wild-type and Parkinson's disease (PD) model in Drosophila. These findings strongly suggest that appropriate amount of CBD affects the circadian rhythms, sleep, life span, CP rhythm, egg reproduction and motor function of Drosophila melanogaster, and providing a basic data for exploring its potential applications in managing circadian-related disorders in other animals.
