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
Adolescent cannabis use is common, has been associated with several deleterious outcomes, and is often associated with previous parent cannabis use. Therefore, identifying protective factors that prevent this intergenerational transmission of cannabis use is increasingly important given shifting contemporary policies around cannabis use. The present study examines 3 protective factors in adolescence (active coping, positive activity involvement, and school grades) that may disrupt patterns of intergenerational cannabis use. The present study uses data from a high-risk longitudinal sample followed for over 30 years that includes Generation 1 (G1) parents (54.19% with lifetime alcohol use disorder, 8.15% with lifetime cannabis use disorder), their Generation 2 (G2) children, and their Generation 3 (G3) grandchildren and therefore provides the opportunity to replicate effects across 2 intergenerational cohorts (a G1-G2 cohort and a G2-G3 cohort). Results from ordered logistic regression models reveal that in both intergenerational cohorts, greater midadolescent active coping, higher positive activity involvement, and higher grades prospectively predict lower late adolescent cannabis use at significant (p < .05) or marginal (p < .10) levels, even after powerful control variables, such as parent cannabis use and alcohol use, as well as previous early adolescent cannabis use, are accounted for. Additionally, in both intergenerational cohorts, midadolescent high levels of active coping disrupt intergenerational transmission of cannabis use. Results indicate replication in the intergenerational transmission of cannabis use and in the protective effects of coping, grades, and, to a lesser extent, positive activity involvement across generational cohorts. Implications for prevention programming are discussed. (PsycInfo Database Record (c) 2020 APA, all rights reserved).
