Marijuana use is associated with alcohol use and consequences across the first 2 years of college.

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
College entry is associated with marijuana initiation, and co-use of alcohol and marijuana is associated with problematic outcomes, including alcohol-related consequences. The present study explored if: (a) use of marijuana on a given day would be associated with greater alcohol use within the same day; (b) use of marijuana within a given week would be associated with increased alcohol-related consequences in that same week; and (c) the association between marijuana use and alcohol consumption and consequences varies across time or by precollege level of problematic alcohol use. Participants (N = 488 college student drinkers, 59% female) completed assessments of marijuana use, alcohol use, and alcohol consequences across 2 years. Analyses revealed: (a) daily marijuana use predicted greater number of daily drinks and estimated breath alcohol concentration; (b) weekly marijuana use predicted more weekly positive and negative alcohol consequences; (c) the effect of daily marijuana use on alcohol use strengthened over time, while the effect of weekly marijuana use on positive alcohol consequences reduced over time; and (d) precollege level of problematic alcohol use moderated the association between daily marijuana and alcohol use and weekly marijuana use and negative consequences. This study provides the first longitudinal evidence of the association between marijuana use and greater alcohol use and consequences in college students. Future research examining event-level measurement of alcohol and marijuana co-use is important for the prevention of alcohol-related consequences.
