1 · What the graph read from it

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.

2 · The registry

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: Blunts (i.e., cannabis rolled in cigar paper with or without tobacco) are a popular way of consuming cannabis. Little survey research has examined knowledge and beliefs about blunts, especially among youth who use cigars or are susceptible to cigar use. Methods: Participants were a convenience sample of Results: One-third of youth (32.1 %) thought that blunts do not contain nicotine. Around half of youth thought that blunts were "much less" or "slightly less" addictive (45.0 %) and "much less" or "slightly less" harmful (51.5 %) than unmodified cigars. Youth who identified as Black/African American (vs. white) had lower odds of knowledge that blunts contain nicotine ( Conclusions: Our study with a sample of US youth-who have used or are susceptible to using LCCs-found that about 1 in 3 participants thought that blunts do not contain nicotine, and many believed blunts were less harmful and addictive than unmodified cigars.
