Trial reportSubstance abuse
Brief intervention for daily marijuana users identified by screening in primary care: A subgroup analysis of the ASPIRE randomized clinical trial.
Trial report in Substance abuse. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 6 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled 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.
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 use of brief intervention for decreasing frequent marijuana use holds potential, but its efficacy in primary care is not known.
methods
objectiveTo assess the impact of 2 brief interventions on marijuana use among daily/or almost daily marijuana users.
designSubgroup analysis of a 3-arm randomized clinical trial of 2 brief counseling interventions compared with no brief intervention on daily marijuana use in a primary care setting (ASPIRE).
participantsASPIRE study participants who both reported 21-30 days of marijuana use during the past month and identified marijuana as their drug of most concern.
interventions(1) brief negotiated interview (BNI), a 10-15-minute structured interview, and (2) an adaptation of motivational interviewing (MOTIV), a 30-45-minute intervention. Control group participants received only a list of substance use treatment resources. MAIN MEASURES: The primary outcome was number of days of marijuana use in the past 30 days at the 6-month follow-up. Secondary outcomes were (1) number of days of marijuana use at 6-week follow-up and (2) drug problems (Short Inventory of Problems-Drugs, SIP-D) at 6-week and 6-month follow-ups. Differences between intervention groups were analyzed using negative binomial regression models.
resultsAmong the 167 eligible participants, we did not find any significant impact of either of the 2 interventions on past 30 days of marijuana use at 6 months (adjusted incidence rate ratio [aIRR]: 0.95, 95% confidence interval [CI]: 0.75-1.15, P = .82 for BNI vs. control; aIRR: 1.02, 95% CI: 0.85-1.23, P = .82 for MOTIV vs. control). There was no significant impact on drug-related problems at 6-month follow-up (aIRR: 1.12, 95% CI: 0.69-1.82, P = .66 and aIRR: 1.46, 95% CI: 0.89-2.38, P = .27 for BNI vs. control and MOTIV vs. control, respectively). Results were similar at 6 weeks.
conclusionsBrief intervention has no apparent impact on marijuana use or drug-related problems among primary care patients with frequent marijuana use identified by screening.
