Feasibility and acceptability of using smartphone-based EMA to assess patterns of prescription opioid and medical cannabis use among individuals with chronic pain.
Article in Internet interventions, 2021. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 13 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
backgroundIntensive longitudinal studies are needed to examine the co-use of prescription opioid medication and medical cannabis and their effects on chronic pain. The current study sought to investigate the feasibility and participant compliance with a smartphone-based Ecological Momentary Assessment (EMA) data collection protocol among individuals who use multiple substances and suffer from chronic pain.
methodsA total of 46 participants (mean age = 44.8 years; 78% female; 85% Non-Hispanic White) were recruited online and completed a 30-day EMA phase where they responded to prompted surveys (four random past-hour surveys and one daily diary per day) about opioid medication use, medical cannabis use, and pain symptoms. Qualitative follow-up interviews were conducted with a subset of 10 participants. Linear and logistic regression models were used to examine baseline participant characteristics in relation to EMA compliance. Qualitative indicators of participant study experience were extracted from interviews.
resultsParticipants responded to an average of 70% of past-hour surveys and 92% of daily diaries. Female participants were more likely to complete all daily diaries and at least one past-hour survey per day on all 30 days, respectively (OR = 5.60, 95% CI: 1.02-30.77,
conclusionsStudy results demonstrate both feasibility and acceptability of using EMA methodology to examine use patterns of medical cannabis and prescription opioid medication among individuals with chronic pain.
