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

backgroundThe potential risks of prenatal cannabis use may vary depending on how cannabis is administered, but little is known about modes of prenatal cannabis use. This study characterized prevalence and sociodemographic correlates of modes of prenatal cannabis use in California.

methodsThis cross-sectional study included patients with pregnancies between January 1, 2021 and December 31, 2022 in a large healthcare system (3507 pregnancies [3454 individuals]) who self-reported prenatal cannabis use and mode of use (smoke, vape, edibles, dabs, and topicals) during universal screening at entrance to prenatal care. Multivariable regression models examined the relationship between sociodemographic characteristics and modes of use.

resultsSmoking was the most common mode (71.1 %), followed by edibles (32.6 %), vaping (22.2 %), dabs (9.9 %), and topicals (4.6 %); 29.9 % endorsed multiple modes. Those who used edibles were the least likely to use daily (28.2 %), while those who dabbed (54.3 %) or used > 1 mode (45.3 %) were the most likely to use daily. In multivariable models, smoking was generally more common and edibles less common among those who were younger, non-Hispanic Black, and living in more deprived neighborhoods, vaping was more common among Hispanic individuals and less common among non-Hispanic Black individuals and those living in more deprived neighborhoods, and dabbing was more common among those who were younger and Hispanic.

conclusionModes of cannabis use during early pregnancy varied by sociodemographic characteristics. Future research is needed to test whether the risks of adverse outcomes or likelihood of persistent use during pregnancy vary depending on how cannabis is administered during pregnancy.
