The Lower-Risk Cannabis Use Guidelines (LRCUG): A ready-made targeted prevention tool for cannabis in New Zealand.

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
Cannabis use is common, especially among young people, and associated with risks for select acute and chronic adverse health and social outcomes. New Zealand features overall high cannabis use levels, yet may soon follow other jurisdictions and implement legalization of non-medical cannabis use and supply towards public health objectives. While existing cannabis-oriented interventions mainly focus on primary prevention and treatment (e.g., for dependence), key harms from use are crucially influenced by risk factors that can be modified by the user. On this basis, and similar to other health behavior-oriented interventions, 'Lower-Risk Cannabis Use Guidelines' (LRCUG), consisting of 10 recommendation clusters for lower-risk use, were systematically developed in Canada as an evidence-based, targeted prevention tool towards reducing adverse outcomes among cannabis users. We briefly summarize the concept of and experiences with implementation of the LRCUG elsewhere, and describe how their adoption as a population health intervention may serve public health goals of possible cannabis legalization in New Zealand and elsewhere.
