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
objectiveWith the current public health burden of sexually transmitted infections, it is important to identify factors affecting condom use. The association between marijuana use and condom use is especially important because of the increasing number of U.S. states legalizing marijuana; however, relevant research findings are mixed. The goal of this study was to perform a meta-analysis assessing the relationship between marijuana and condom use at instances of sexual intercourse.
methodA systematic search of four databases was performed. Data were extracted and pooled estimates were calculated using random-effects models with inverse variance weighting. Heterogeneity was evaluated using the Cochran Q chi-square test.
resultsEleven studies were included. There was a statistically significant relationship between marijuana and condom use in the overall pooled analysis (odds ratio [OR] = 0.71, 95% CI [0.56, 0.89]), and studies were homogeneous, I
conclusionsThis meta-analysis found that the odds of condom use were lower for those who used marijuana around the time of intercourse than for those who did not, with this effect only significant for adolescents in a subgroup analysis. As the adolescent populations in this analysis were not representative of a general population of adolescents, future research should focus not only on those considered high risk.
