Exploration Into Patterns of Cannabis Use Across Pregnancy and Postpartum.
Article in Journal of addiction medicine. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 7 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
objectivesPeripartum cannabis use can be harmful to pregnant individual's and children's health, yet it is the most used illicit substance during the peripartum period. Despite the ability of some people to reduce and abstain from cannabis use during pregnancy, the first year postpartum is a high-risk time for returning to cannabis. However, characterization of cannabis use patterns in the peripartum period and risk factors for return to use postpartum are not well established. The aims of this exploratory study were to describe patterns of peripartum cannabis use and identify factors associated with increased frequency of postpartum cannabis use among individuals who reported reduced use during pregnancy.
methodsAn online survey identified 47 individuals who used cannabis during the peripartum period. Descriptive statistics characterized the sample and among those who reduced use during pregnancy, χ 2 determined the frequency of postpartum cannabis use per preconception reasons for use.
resultsDuring preconception, 95.7% of individuals used cannabis, and of those who were presently postpartum, 65% resumed use after delivery. Anxiety and stress were the most common motivations for cannabis use throughout the peripartum period, but social motivations (ie, fun, relaxation) were the only preconception factors that increased frequency of return to cannabis use postpartum.
conclusionsOur exploratory study describes the characteristics of individuals using cannabis in the peripartum period and provides insight into correlates of resumption of cannabis use postpartum. These findings may inform future work to further determine temporal associations, confounding risk factors, and intervention techniques to prevent the return to cannabis use postpartum.
