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

P2X purinoceptor 4 (P2X4) is an ATP-gated ion channel receptor with diverse neurophysiological functions, and P2X4 modulators hold promise as potential therapeutics for neuropathic pain, neuroinflammation, and neurodegenerative diseases. While several cannabinoids have been reported as modulators of purinoreceptors, their specific purinoreceptor-binding characteristics remain elusive. In this study, we established a comprehensive workflow that included a binding screening platform and a novel surface plasmon resonance (SPR) competitive assay, complemented by computational docking, to identify potential P2X4 binders among a panel of twenty-eight cannabinoids. Through SPR, we determined the binding affinities of cannabinoids (
