Cannabichromene from full-spectrum hemp extract exerts acute anti-seizure effects through allosteric activation of GABA
Article in Fundamental research, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 papers.
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
The approval of Epidiolex, an anti-epileptic drug containing cannabidiol (CBD) as its active component, has brought hope to patients with refractory epilepsy. However, the anti-seizure effect of full-spectrum hemp extract (HE), a CBD-enriched hemp oil, remains unclear. In this study, we investigated the anti-seizure effect of HE using drug-induced seizure models. Our findings revealed that HE significantly reduced seizure susceptibility comparable to CBD at the same doses. Moreover, we explored the pharmacokinetic properties of CBD in HE and observed improved characteristics such as faster oral absorption, enhanced brain distribution, and slower elimination. We further assessed the anti-seizure effects of the other five main non-addictive components in HE. Among these components, cannabichromene (CBC) and cannabinol (CBN) showed significant anti-seizure effects. To gain insights into the mechanisms of CBC and CBN, we investigated their allosteric modulation on the GABA
