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

Purpose of Review: This narrative review summarizes research-to-date on strategies to prevent problematic cannabis use. Recent Findings: Ten meta-analytic reviews of cannabis use prevention strategies published after 2010 were identified for this review. The meta-analytic reviews were based on studies evaluating the effectiveness of school-based programs, online/digital interventions, mass-media approaches, culturally specific interventions, and brief interventions. Results indicate that school-based programs, online/digital interventions, and culturally specific interventions may help to prevent or reduce cannabis use, though effect sizes were modest. Brief interventions were found to have no effect on cannabis use frequency, but had small beneficial effects on cannabis use disorder, consequences, and abstinence. Mass media approaches were not effective in preventing cannabis use. Summary: School-based programs, online/digital interventions, culturally specific interventions, and brief interventions can have modest effects on problematic cannabis use. Research is needed to evaluate environmental strategies to prevent problematic cannabis use at the population level.
