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

objectivesTo examine older adults' cannabidiol (CBD) use and its associations with cannabis use and physical/mental health and other substance use problems.

methodsUsing the 2022 National Survey on Drug Use and Health (

resultsIn the 50-64 age group, 18.3% and 18.0% reported past-year CBD and cannabis, respectively, use. In the 65+ age group, the percentages were 14.3% and 8.0%. GLM results showed significant positive associations with both medical and non-medical cannabis use in both age groups. CBD use was positively associated with physical/mental health and illicit drug use problems in the 50-64 age group and with disordered psychotherapeutic drug use in the 65+ age group. Minoritized older adults had a lower likelihood of CBD use.

conclusionsCBD use is common, more so than cannabis especially in the 65+ age group and positively correlated with both medical and nonmedical cannabis use. CLINICAL IMPLICATIONS: Research is needed to examine therapeutic benefits and negative effects of CBD use in late life. Public health education is needed for growing numbers of older-adult CBD users.
