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

Introduction: The rapidly expanding market for therapeutic cannabinoid products has intensified research on their safety and efficacy in pets. Full-spectrum hemp extracts contain compounds such as terpenoids and flavonoids that may act synergistically via the "entourage effect," yet their application in companion animals remains underexplored. This study assessed the pharmacokinetics and safety of isolated and full-spectrum cannabinoids in dogs. Methods: Eight healthy adult Beagle dogs (four males and four females) were randomly assigned to a 4 × 4 Latin square design (two dogs per kennel, same sex), consisting of four experimental periods and four treatments: CBD isolate (1 mg/kg), CBDA isolate (1 mg/kg), CBDA full spectrum (FS) (1 mg/kg), and a combined CBD/CBDA FS (1 mg/kg). Treatments were administered twice daily (every 12 h). In the morning, dogs received their assigned treatment following their daily ration of dry kibble and were immediately offered 122 grams of wet food. Each experimental period lasted 1 week and was followed by a three-week washout period. Results: No adverse events were associated with any treatment. CBDA showed higher Cmax and AUC than CBD in both isolate and FS forms ( Conclusion: CBDA demonstrated superior absorption compared to CBD. No evidence supported enhanced absorption from full-spectrum products, suggesting the "entourage effect" may involve receptor-level interactions rather than absorption. All treatments were well tolerated, with normal CBC and chemistry results, indicating that administering CBD or CBDA, either as isolates or in full-spectrum extracts, at 1 mg/kg every 12 h for 1 week is safe in healthy adult dogs. This is the first comprehensive comparison of full-spectrum, isolate, and acidic cannabinoid forms in dogs.
