Increasing Use of Cannabis for Medical Purposes Among U.S. Residents, 2013-2020.
Article in American journal of preventive medicine, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 20 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
introductionCannabis use for medical purposes is legalized across 39 states and the District of Columbia in the U.S. The objective of this study was to evaluate temporal trends and correlates of cannabis use for medical purposes in the U.S.
methodsData from the 2013-2020 National Survey on Drug Use and Health were used. Since 2013, medical cannabis use has been assessed using a dichotomous question asking whether any medical cannabis use was recommended by a doctor among those who used cannabis in the past 12 months. A modified Poisson model was used to estimate the average annual percentage change in medical cannabis use from 2013 to 2020. The analyses were repeated for key sociodemographic and clinical subgroups. Data were analyzed from September to November 2022.
resultsThe prevalence of U.S. residents using cannabis for medical purposes increased significantly from 1.2% in 2013-2014 to 2.5% in 2019-2020, with an average annual percentage change of 12.9% (95% CI=10.4, 15.5), and many of sociodemographic and clinical subgroups showed similar significant increases in cannabis use for medical purposes. In the multivariable-adjusted model, living in a state that legalized medical cannabis remained significantly associated with medical cannabis use (AOR=4.10; 95% CI=3.68, 4.56).
conclusionsThe study documents a continued nationwide increase in the use of cannabis for diverse medical purposes between 2013 and 2020, two decades after the first state passed legalizing legislation.
