Cannabis use disorder treatment use and perceived treatment need in the United States: Time trends and age differences between 2002 and 2019.
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 23 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 trends in CUD treatment are understudied, we examined time trends in CUD treatment and perceived treatment need among people with CUD overall and by age group.
methodsData from the 2002-2019 National Survey on Drug Use and Health included 43,307 individuals who met past-year DSM-5-proxy CUD criteria. Last/current treatment for cannabis use (i.e., any or specialty CUD treatment) and perceived treatment need were regressed on survey year and age (12-17, 18-25, ≥26) using generalized linear spline models. Time-varying effect modification assessed the magnitude of age-treatment associations over time.
resultsBetween 2002 and 2019, 6.1% of people with CUD used any CUD treatment, 2.8% used specialty treatment, and 2.2% perceived a treatment need. CUD treatment use decreased by 54.23% between 2002 and 2019 (9.11%-4.17%). Compared with adolescents, adults ages 18-25 were less likely to use specialty CUD treatment [aRR: 0.70: 95% CI: 0.52, 0.93] and ages ≥26 were more likely to perceive treatment need [aRR: 1.84: 95% CI: 1.19, 2.83]. Age-specific differences in the time-varying magnitude of associations were observed (e.g., in 2010 perceived treatment need was higher in ages ≥26 versus ages 12-17 [aOR: 2.34, 95% CI: 1.47, 3.71]).
conclusionsCUD treatment is decreasing and young adults have lower treatment use compared with adolescents. Attitudes towards cannabis use harms are shifting, potentially contributing to decreasing CUD treatment utilization and perceived treatment need. Future research should identify treatment barriers, especially among young adults with the lowest CUD treatment use.
