An Urgent Call for Studies That Address the Cardiovascular Consequences of Legalization of Marijuana.
Review in Cardiology research, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
In about a decade, half of the United States has legalized marijuana for recreational use. The drug has been associated with acute myocardial infarction, acute stroke, congestive heart failure, and various cardiac arrythmias. Data have shown that legalization of the drug led to an increase of its use as well as an increase in tetra hydro cannabinoid positive tests in patients admitted to emergency departments. In Colorado, one of the earlier states to implement legalization, there was an increase in traffic accidents, suicide rates, and even total mortality. However, there is a paucity of data on the effect of marijuana legalization on various cardiovascular events. It is prudent to have well-designed studies with enough power to provide consumers and health care providers the information they need to decide whether the risks of marijuana, especially on the cardiovascular front, are worth the "high" or potential benefits that have been described for other medical conditions.
