The association of type of cannabis product used and frequency of use with problematic cannabis use in a sample of young adult cannabis users.
Article in Drug and alcohol dependence, 2021. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 20 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
Research exploring patterns and predictors of problematic cannabis use behaviors among young adults is limited. This knowledge is essential for intervening to prevent abuse and dependence outcomes.
methodsYoung adult cannabis users (Mage = 19.2[SD = 0.8]) in Southern California (N = 1007) were classified by patterns of problematic cannabis use from the Cannabis Abuse Screening Test, using Latent Class Analysis. Multinomial regression evaluated the association of frequency of use (no past 30 day use, infrequent [use on 1-2 of past 30 days], semi-frequent [use on 3-9 of the past 30 days], and frequent [use on 10 or more of the past 30 days]) for each cannabis product type (combustible, edible, vaporized, concentrate, blunt) with class membership.
resultsFour distinct classes of cannabis-related problems were identified: "non-symptomatic" (no problems; 33.8 %), "non-recreational use" (before noon and when alone; 34.5 %), "moderate use problems" (before noon, alone, and memory problems; 8.0 %), and "severe cannabis problems" (all 6 problems; 23.7 %). Semi-frequent (AOR range: 1.85-4.63;ps<0.05) and frequent (AOR range: 9.18-24.2;ps<0.05) use of combustible and vaporized cannabis, frequent blunt use (AORs range: 4.03-10.3;ps<0.05), and semi-frequent, but not frequent edible use (AOR range: 2.57-2.73;ps<0.05) was associated with higher odds of classification in any problematic use class (vs. non-symptomatic).
conclusionsDifferences in cannabis use problems across these classes and their predictors reveal the heterogeneity in cannabis-related problems experienced by young people. Combustible cannabis, vaporized cannabis, and blunt cannabis use may confer the most risk for cannabis abuse and dependency outcomes, with more frequent days of use contributing to increased patterns of risk.
