Social Context of Cannabis Use: Associations with Problematic Use, Motives for Use, and Protective Behavioral Strategies among Sexual Minorities Assigned Female at Birth.
Article in Annals of LGBTQ public and population health, 2021. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 8 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
Sexual and gender minorities assigned female at birth (SGM-AFAB) are at heightened risk for problematic cannabis use compared to heterosexual cisgender women. Despite evidence that social context influences patterns of substance use, no known studies have examined context of cannabis use among SGM-AFAB. The current study examined two aspects of social contexts of cannabis use (locations and companions) and their associations with problematic use, motives for use, and protective behavioral strategies among SGM-AFAB. We utilized three waves of data from 358 SGM-AFAB from a larger study. We aimed to: (1) identify subgroups of SGM-AFAB based on contexts in which they used cannabis; (2) examine changes in contexts over time; and (3) examine associations between contexts, problematic use, motives for use, and protective behavioral strategies. Using latent class analysis, we identified four classes: those who used cannabis at home; those who used with friends; those who used alone and with friends; and those who used in all contexts. Those who used in all contexts reported more problematic use, higher coping motives, and used fewer protective behavioral strategies compared to other classes. Transitioning to using cannabis in fewer contexts was associated with a subsequent decrease in problematic use. Classes that were most stable over time (using in all contexts or alone and with friends) were also those that were associated with more problematic use. Social context has important implications for problematic cannabis use among SGM-AFAB. As such, interventions may benefit from attending to social context to reduce problematic use in this population.
