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

backgroundWhile cannabidiol (CBD) is widely used globally as a therapeutic agent, sex as a biological variable remains underexplored in determining its metabolism and overall pharmacokinetic patterns. The present study systematically evaluated sex differences in the pharmacokinetics of CBD and its major metabolites, 7-hydroxy-CBD (7-OH-CBD) and 7-carboxy-CBD (7-COOH-CBD), in a mouse model.

methodsMale and female C57BL/6J mice received an intraperitoneal dose of CBD (120 mg/kg) and plasma concentrations of CBD and its metabolites were quantified by UPLC-MS/MS. Pharmacokinetic parameters were derived using non-compartmental analysis and compared between sexes.

resultsFemales exhibited significantly higher early exposure to CBD, with a ~ 1.5-fold higher [Formula: see text]than male mice (p = 0.03). The apparent clearance (CL/F) and ultimate total systemic exposure[Formula: see text] were comparable between sexes. In contrast, male mice demonstrated a markedly larger apparent volume of distribution (Vz/F; ~2.2-fold increase, p = 0.02) and consequently a longer terminal half-life (t

conclusionsThese results demonstrate that sex is a critical determinant of CBD pharmacokinetics and highlight the need for sex-informed dosing considerations in both preclinical study design and potentially for future clinical applications of CBD.
