Ready, willing, and able: the role of cannabis use opportunities in understanding adolescent cannabis use.
Article in Addiction (Abingdon, England), 2017. 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 11 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
aimsTo examine adolescent cannabis use-both at national and individual levels-by deconstructing it into its necessary conditions of realistic use opportunities and willingness to use the drug given such opportunities.
designNationally representative, repeated cross-sectional survey.
settingNorway.
participantsA total of 8818 16-year-olds who participated in the European School Survey Project on Alcohol and Other Drugs (ESPAD) in 2007, 2011, and 2015. MEASUREMENTS: Adolescent reports concerning their life-time 'cannabis use' and 'possibilities to use cannabis' were used to assess: (a) overall cannabis use, (b) exposure to realistic cannabis use opportunities, and (c) cannabis use among those exposed to use opportunities. Logistic regression models were used to estimate national trends since 2007 in these indicators, and to identify individual-level factors associated with cannabis use versus non-use among youth exposed to concrete use opportunities.
findingsPrevalence of life-time cannabis use remained stably low, averaging 6.4% across the three surveys. Life-time exposure to cannabis use opportunities decreased [odds ratio (OR)
conclusionsApproaches accounting for realistic use opportunities proved critical in our understanding of underage cannabis use, both at the national and individual level, and may be informative for development of prevention strategies in the era of cannabis liberalization. In addition, delineation of realistic opportunities from behaviours conditioned upon such opportunities is generalizable to a range of public health issues.
