1 · What the graph read from 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.

2 · The registry

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

Studies on the relationships between marijuana use and quality of life have reported mixed findings. Based on a survey of 123 marijuana users conducted in Los Angeles during 2017-2018, we investigated the relationships between marijuana use frequency, severity of marijuana-related problems, and health-related quality of life (HRQoL). Results indicated that (1) marijuana use frequency was positively related to severity of marijuana-related problems; (2) severity of marijuana-related problems was negatively related to mental domain of HRQoL but was not significantly related to physical domain of HRQoL; and (3) marijuana use frequency was positively associated with mental health symptoms and physical health conditions, and both in turn were negatively linked to mental and physical domains of HRQoL, respectively. Reduction of marijuana-related problems and mitigation of mental and physical health problems may improve HRQoL among marijuana users. The study findings may contribute to developing treatment interventions for marijuana use that simultaneously address marijuana-related problems and associated mental and physical issues.
