Association between cannabis use disorder and greater apathy in adults with HIV.
Article in Drug and alcohol dependence, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
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
backgroundApathy is prevalent among people with HIV (PWH) and is associated with poor clinical outcomes. Cannabis use and Cannabis Use Disorder (CUD) are also disproportionately prevalent among PWH. CUD and younger onset of cannabis use may be linked to apathy in the general population; however, patterns of use most strongly associated with apathy have not been firmly established, and it is unclear whether cannabis use is linked to apathy in PWH.
methodsWe examined associations in 311 adult PWH between Apathy Evaluation Scale-Self (AES-S) scores and CUD history (current/past/no CUD/no cannabis use) and between AES-S scores and age of CUD onset (adolescent-onset/adult-onset). We also examined robustness of associations to adjustment for depressive symptoms (which may overlap with apathy symptoms) and alcohol use.
resultsCurrent CUD was associated with greater AES-S scores relative to cannabis users with no CUD history (β = 2.13, 95 % CI = 0.37-3.90, p = 0.018). Adolescent-onset CUD was not associated with greater apathy relative to adult-onset CUD (β = 0.56, 95 % CI = -2.57 - 3.68, p = 0.7). Associations became nonsignificant after adjustment for depressive symptoms, but not after adjustment for alcohol use. Alcohol use was correlated with apathy (r = 0.19, 95 % CI: 0.076-0.29, p = 0.001).
conclusionsCannabis Use Disorder and at-risk alcohol use are associated with apathy among PWH; this finding highlights the need for substance use disorder prevention and treatment among PWH.
