Racial/Ethnic Differences in Age at Menarche and Lifetime Nonmedical Marijuana Use: Results from the NHANES 2005-2016.
Article in Journal of racial and ethnic health disparities, 2021. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled 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.
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
Early age at menarche has been linked to many adverse health outcomes among women, including substance use. However, little is known on the association between age at menarche and nonmedical use of marijuana, and no study has assessed the potential racial/ethnic differences. In this study, the 2005-2016 National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey data were used to investigate the association between age at menarche and the risk of lifetime nonmedical use of marijuana. Logistic regression models were used to examine such association adjusting for sociodemographic factors. Interactions between age at menarche and race/ethnicity were also assessed. Among the 10,302 women included, 53.9% had lifetime nonmedical use of marijuana. The regression model shows that women with early menarche had 1.26 (95% CI 1.09, 1.45) times the odds of having lifetime nonmedical use of marijuana compared with women with normal age at menarche. When assessing the association by race/ethnicity, marginally positive associations were observed for both the early and late menarche groups among non-Hispanic White women. However, among women with race/ethnicity other than non-Hispanic White, early menarche is significantly associated with increased risks of lifetime nonmedical marijuana use, while late menarche is significantly associated with decreased risks. This study suggests that early menarche may be a risk factor of lifetime nonmedical use of marijuana, and racial/ethnic differences may exist in the association. Future studies are warranted to examine and confirm these findings.
