Analyzing the Impact of Cannabinoids on the Treatment of Spinal Disorders.
Review in Current reviews in musculoskeletal medicine, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 4 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
purpose of reviewCannabis is among the most used illicit substances globally, with medical applications, increased legalization, and shifting social attitudes leading to increased use in recent years. Cannabinoids are a group of psychoactive substances found within the cannabis plant, with the most common being Δ RECENT
findingsCannabis and cannabinoids may be effective in treating patients with chronic conditions such as back pain and spinal cord injuries. Longitudinal effects and implications on surgical outcomes and complications are poorly understood. High-quality, outcomes-focused research can inform approaches for clinicians to approach cannabis and cannabinoid use. Studies to elucidate the standardization of cannabis regimens can help develop guidelines for potential therapeutic applications. Cannabis and cannabinoids may be useful alternatives or additions for many spine patients, but future research is needed for recommendations to be determined. Our manuscript reviews the available literature regarding cannabis use and various spinal conditions, organizing our findings into the following narrative themes: (1) the management of chronic lower back pain, (2) perioperative outcomes, (3) cannabis use in general orthopaedic procedures, and (4) spinal cord injuries.
