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

introductionBlunt and hemp wraps, as a means of consuming cannabis, have emerged into the retail space where the prevalence has been increasing since 2017. There is limited epidemiological research on the prevalence of use of these products across the U.S. particularly among young adults who are at greater risk of tobacco and cannabis use.

methodsThis study draws from a U.S. national representative sample of young adults (

resultsOne quarter (22.7%) of young adults reported ever having used a blunt wrap, 3.2% in the past 30-days. One in seven (14.3%) had ever used a hemp wrap, 2.3% in the past 30-days. Non-Hispanic Black young adults were 1.55 and 2.91 times as likely to have ever used blunt or hemp wraps, respectively, compared to non-Hispanic Whites. Similarly, participants who identified as gay or lesbian or bisexual similarly had greater odds of having ever used blunt or hemp wraps. Hispanic young adults were 2.49 times as likely to have used hempwraps compared to non-Hispanic Whites.

conclusionBlunt and hemp wrap use is prevalent among young adults, particularly among minoritized populations. Continued research and surveillance of use of these products is needed to fully evaluate the impact their use may have on the broader population.
