Modes of Marijuana Consumption Among Colorado High School Students Before and After the Initiation of Retail Marijuana Sales for Adults.
Article in Journal of studies on alcohol and drugs, 2019. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 13 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
objectiveThis study aimed to estimate the prevalence of different modes of marijuana consumption (e.g., smoking, ingesting) overall and by sociodemographic factors, marijuana-related perceptions, and other substance use among adolescents, as well as to characterize differences in the usual mode of consumption before and after the initiation of retail marijuana sales in 2014.
methodData are from the 2013 and 2015 administrations of the Healthy Kids Colorado Survey, a cross-sectional, school-based survey. We included 9th-12th grade students who reported past-30-day marijuana use in 2013 (n = 2,792; 44.8% female) or 2015 (n = 1,664; 48.9% female). We estimated the prevalence of any past-month use of each mode in 2015 and usual mode of consumption the past month in both years. We tested differences by year, sociodemographics, marijuana-related perceptions, and other substance use using Rao-Scott chi-square tests and multivariable logistic regression.
resultsThe prevalence of past-month marijuana use was 20.7% in both years. In 2015, 39.8% of students reported using multiple modes in the past month. Use of any mode other than smoking and use of multiple modes differed by sociodemographics, marijuana-related perceptions, and other substance use. Smoking remained the most common usual mode in 2015. The prevalence of usually ingesting significantly decreased from 4.7% to 2.1% between years, whereas "other mode(s)" significantly increased from 4.0% to 6.0%.
conclusionsThe use of multiple modes of marijuana consumption was prevalent among adolescents in Colorado. The usual mode of consumption changed in years before and after the implementation of retail marijuana sales, suggesting the need for continued surveillance.
