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

Background: Hyperlocomotion induced by psychotomimetic agents is considered a proxy for positive psychotic-like symptoms and is used in antipsychotic drug screenings with rodents. Cannabinoids are psychotomimetic drugs in humans, and low doses of cannabinoid CB Methods: We used a combination of pharmacological and genetic manipulations in cultured cells and adult male mouse models, together with an intracellular signaling detection method. Our multidisciplinary approach included locomotor activity ( Results: We showed that the hyperlocomotion induced by a low dose (0.3 mg/kg) of cannabinoid Δ Conclusions: This work highlights an intracellular mechanism of CB1R expressed by a selective key neuronal pathway mediating the psychotomimetic effect of THC and, by extension, low-dose cannabis consumption. This discovery will likely aid the development of unprecedented therapeutic modalities for the treatment of psychotic conditions.
