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

In 2017, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration granted breakthrough therapy status to 3,4-methylenedioxy-methamphetamine (MDMA) for posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD) based partially on clinical trials with American Veterans. This drug, known popularly as ecstasy, generated better results for individuals suffering from PTSD than any other available therapies. Other trials focused on Veterans and those in active military service, alongside emerging studies with first responders, police officers, and people with complex trauma-based disorders. Although psychedelic drugs, especially psilocybin mushrooms and MDMA, are once again the subject of a variety of clinical trials that span beyond military medicine and PTSD, the connection between psychedelics and military health present particular challenges and opportunities when it comes to integrating psychedelics into the Canadian military health system. This article examines the history of psychedelics in Canada, underscoring the importance of how historical understandings of both military-based trauma and psychedelics influenced the reception of psychedelics as therapeutic options today.
