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

Cannabidiol (CBD) has potential for treating obesity-induced inflammation; thus, we studied the influence of CBD on the accumulation of lipid precursors of inflammation, the, enzymes, and cytokine levels in the subcutaneous (SAT) and visceral adipose tissue (VAT) of animals with obesity-induced early-stage inflammation. Our experiment was performed on rats fed a high-fat (HFD) or control diet, which received CBD or its vehicle. The accumulation and composition of lipid fractions were assessed via gas‒liquid chromatography, whereas the expression of inflammatory pathway enzymes and the cytokine content were evaluated via Western blot or multiplexing, respectively. In addition to selective changes in the content of cytokines, the administration of CBD to HFD-fed rats also decreased the deposition of all the lipid fractions in VAT, whereas in SAT, only the free fatty acid and diacylglycerol fractions were affected. Moreover, CBD reduced the deposition of arachidonic acid and the expression of enzymes associated with the synthesis of lipid precursors of inflammation in both the SAT and VAT of HFD-fed rats. Although the data revealed the beneficial influence of CBD on lipid precursors of inflammation metabolism in both fat depots, more pronounced changes were observed in VAT, which is a tissue that is more predisposed to metabolic disease development.
