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 of the reviewPhytocannabinoids have received attention for their therapeutic properties, however, it is unclear how they affect bone homeostasis. Additionally, increased use of cannabis and hemp-derived products have raised questions about their impact on musculoskeletal health. This review summarizes recent studies that investigate the impact of phytocannabinoids on bone. RECENT

findingsThe most well studied phytocannabinoid in relation to bone health is cannabidiol (CBD). In vitro data suggests CBD inhibits osteoclasts and promotes osteoblast activity. Rodent studies have demonstrated CBD may be useful for managing bone loss associated with osteoporosis and periodontitis, as well as reducing fracture pain and promoting healing. Recent studies suggest other phytocannabinoid isolates and extracts containing multiple phytocannabinoids have varying effects on bone. The first clinical study in this area reported that a medical cannabis product reduced markers of bone turnover in healthy adults. Cannabinoids bind to receptors in the endocannabinoid system which is involved in regulation of bone metabolism. Phytocannabinoids may improve bone health; however, additional work is required to determine factors such as the optimal dose, timing, and route of administration.
