Hours high as a proxy for marijuana use quantity in intensive longitudinal designs.
Article in Drug and alcohol dependence, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 27 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
backgroundMeasuring marijuana use quantity in survey research is complicated due to wide variation in the types (e.g., flower, edibles) and potency of marijuana products and in the modes (e.g., smoking, dabbing) used to consume products. There is currently no gold standard marijuana use quantity measure for survey research. This study examined whether number of hours high can be used as a proxy for marijuana use quantity in survey research, particularly in intensive longitudinal designs.
methodsParticipants came from a community sample of young adults participating in a longitudinal study on simultaneous alcohol and marijuana use that used a longitudinal measurement-burst design in which participants completed surveys on up to 14 consecutive days in up to five bursts across nearly two calendar years. Those who reported using marijuana on at least one sampled day were included in present analyses (N = 379; M
resultsWithin persons, mode-specific marijuana use quantity variables predicted same-day number of hours high indicating evidence of initial criterion validity. In turn, hours high predicted same-day negative marijuana-related consequences indicating evidence of proximal predictive validity. Between persons, participants' average number of hours high was positively associated with their odds of possible cannabis use disorder following the last burst demonstrating distal predictive validity.
conclusionsNumber of hours high may be a parsimonious proxy for measuring marijuana use quantity (regardless of mode of use) in survey research, particularly in intensive longitudinal designs.
