Antiepileptic activity and potential mechanism of full-spectrum hemp extract.
Article in Fundamental research, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. An erratum has been issued. Cited by 1 paper.
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
Epilepsy is the fourth most common neuropsychiatric disorder. Although the approval of Epidiolex has ignited hope for patients, there is still a large gap in the field of anti-seizure research. The effect and underlying mechanism of full-spectrum hemp extract (HE) remains unclear. Here this study investigated the anti-seizure effect of HE on seizure models. The results showed that HE significantly reduced seizure susceptibility and prolonged seizure latency with better pharmacokinetic performance compared to CBD. This article then further explored the anti-seizure active components and their possible mechanism in HE. The results indicated that cannabichromene (CBC) and cannabinol (CBN) were involved in the anti-seizure process, especially CBC showed a strong allosteric enhancement effects on CBD binding site of the GABAA receptor, which implied that the GABAA receptor seemed to be the primary anti-epileptic target of HE. This article not only presents the great potential of HE as a candidate for new anti-epileptic drugs with less psychoactive, but also provides a valuable contribution to subsequent mechanism research and drug development on epilepsy.Abstract: Epilepsy is the fourth most coneuropsychiatric disorder.
