Biobehavioral Interactions between Endocannabinoid and Hypothalamicpituitary- adrenal Systems in Psychosis: A Systematic Review.

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
backgroundThe diathesis-stress paradigm and the cannabinoid-hypothesis have been proposed as possible pathophysiological models of schizophrenia. However, they have historically been studied independently of each other.
objectiveThis PRISMA 2020-compliant systematic review aimed at reappraising the interplay between the hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal (HPA) axis and the endocannabinoid (eCB) system in psychosis- spectrum disorder risk and outcome.
methodsAll pathophysiological and outcome clinical studies, concomitantly evaluating the two systems in psychosis-spectrum disorder risk and different stages of illness, were gathered from electronic databases (Pubmed, Web of Science, and Scopus), and discussed.
results41 eligible outputs were extracted, focusing on at least a biological measure (9 HPA-related studies: 4 eCB-interventional, 1 HPA-interventional, 1 both HPA-interventional and non-interventional, 3 non-interventional; 2 eCB-related studies: non-interventional), environmental measures only (29 studies: 1 eCB- interventional, 28 non-interventional), and genetic measures (1 study: non-interventional). Independent contributions of aberrancies in the two systems to the physiopathology and outcome of psychosis were confirmed. Also, concomitant alterations in the two systems, either genetically defined (e.g., CNR1 genetic variation), biologically determined (e.g., dysfunctional HPA axis or endocannabinoid signaling), or behaviorally imputed (e.g., cannabis use, stress exposure, and response), were consistently reported in psychosis. Further, a complex biobehavioral perturbation was revealed not only within each system (e.g., cannabis use affecting the eCB tone, stress exposure affecting the HPA axis), but also across the two systems (e.g., THC affecting the HPA axis, childhood trauma affecting the endocannabinoid signaling).
conclusionThere is a need to concomitantly study the two systems' mechanistic contribution to psychosis in order to establish more refined biological relevance.
