Research Review: What we have learned about the endocannabinoid system in developmental psychopathology.
Review in Journal of child psychology and psychiatry, and allied disciplines, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 6 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
backgroundThe endocannabinoid (eCB) system, the primary target of cannabis, has gained significant attention as a potential novel therapeutic approach for treating a range of psychiatric disorders characterized by dysregulation of stress, emotion, and social behavior. The use of cannabis itself as a pharmacotherapeutic in children and adolescents is limited due to various constraints, including legal status, stigma, and real or perceived negative side effects. Thus, compounds that target the eCB system without the notable unwanted effects of cannabis may offer a more viable approach for developing populations.
methodsIn this narrative review, we provide an overview of the eCB system, summarizing its function throughout development and its potential contribution to psychopathology in children and adolescents. We highlight evidence of its behavioral role and the dysregulation of this system in various psychiatric disorders. Finally, we summarize current investigations into pharmacological and nonpharmacological therapeutic interventions designed to target the eCB system.
conclusionsThe eCB system may offer an innovative target for treatments of various psychiatric disorders in child and adolescent populations. However, more research is needed to understand the nuanced developmental trajectory of this system and to determine whether existing compounds are safe and effective for use in these populations.
