Tobacco and marijuana co-use in a cohort of young adults: Patterns, correlates and reasons for co-use.
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 41 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
backgroundAs marijuana is legalized in more states, modes of administration that facilitate co-use with tobacco are growing in popularity among young adults. This study examines the prevalence, patterns, correlates, and reasons for co-use so that targeted interventions can be developed to prevent negative consequences associated with tobacco use and co-use.
methodsIn Fall 2019, 1887 young adults, originally recruited in 2010 from 11 colleges in North Carolina and Virginia to participate in a cohort study, completed an online survey. Co-use was defined as self-reported use of marijuana and tobacco in the past month. Tobacco-only, marijuana-only and co-users were compared using regression modeling.
resultsOverall, 9.3% of the sample were co-users, 7.1% tobacco-only, and 15.8% marijuana-only users. Tobacco use was associated with an increased likelihood of marijuana use and vice-versa. Co-users were more likely to use e-cigarettes and blunts to administer marijuana and less likely to use smokeless tobacco products. They were more likely to use cocaine, have less anxiety, and be heavier marijuana users than marijuana-only users. Co-users of e-cigarettes and marijuana were less likely to be daily e-cigarette users and make quit attempts than e-cigarette users that did not use marijuana. Experimentation was the primary reason for co-use of tobacco and marijuana.
conclusionsCo-users were more likely to use modes of administration that facilitate use of both substances and have patterns of use that may impact cessation efforts. These findings highlight the importance of surveillance of co-use and the development of interventions targeting experimentation with these substances by young adults.
