Article in Addiction & health, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 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
Background: Frequent cannabis use is associated with adverse health-related outcomes. This study followed up individuals who used cannabis to assess their use and adverse event status. Methods: The eligible individuals, recruited in the Iranian Mental Health Survey (IranMHS), were contacted via telephone calls six years after the index interview. The frequency of cannabis use and the occurrence of selected adverse events were recorded. The baseline status was extracted from the index survey. If any individual was inaccessible, his/her vital status was assessed. Findings: Of the 50 eligible individuals (all male), two had died. Moreover, from among 25 reached participants, 19 reported abstinence from cannabis in the past year, and 18 reported at least one adverse event in the past six years. Violence and imprisonment were the most common events reported. Conclusion: Six years after the index interview, most of the participants abstained from cannabis. Besides, adverse events were common, emphasizing the need for further investigations on larger samples of cannabis users.
