Cannabis use characteristics and associations with problematic use outcomes, quitting-related factors, and mental health among US young adults.
Article in Substance abuse treatment, prevention, and policy, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 10 papers.
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.
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
objectiveGiven the changes in trends of cannabis use (e.g., product types), this study examined latent classes of young adult use and associations with use-related outcomes.
methodsWe analyzed 2023 survey data among 4,031 US young adults (M
resultsLCA identified 4 classes of cannabis use frequency and types used: 'infrequent-herb/edibles' (41.4%), 'frequent-herb' (16.8%), 'moderate-herb' (28.0%), and 'moderate-oil/other' (13.8%). In multivariable analyses (referent group: 'moderate-herb' class), 'frequent-herb' reported less problematic use (B=-0.18, 95%CI=-0.30, -0.07), while 'moderate-oil/other' reported greater (B = 0.39, 95%CI = 0.27, 0.51). 'Infrequent-herb/edibles' had lower odds of driving post-use of cannabis (aOR = 0.28, 95%CI = 0.22, 0.37) and cannabis/alcohol (aOR = 0.52, 95%CI = 0.35, 0.76), whereas 'frequent-herb' (aOR = 1.52, 95%CI = 1.02, 2.28) and 'moderate-oil/other' (aOR = 3.98, 95%CI = 2.72, 5.82) reported greater odds of driving post-cannabis/alcohol use. 'Moderate-oil/other' reported higher quitting importance (B = 0.59, 95%CI = 0.17, 1.01), while 'frequent-herb' reported lower (B=-0.33, 95%CI=-0.99, -0.18). 'Infrequent-herb/edibles' reported higher quitting confidence (B = 0.56, 95%CI = 0.20, 0.92), whereas 'frequent-herb' (B=-1.01, 95%CI=-1.45, -0.57) and 'moderate-oil/other' (B=-1.27, 95%CI=-1.74, -0.81) reported lower. 'Infrequent-herb/edibles' reported fewer mental health symptoms (B=-0.55, 95%CI=-0.93, -0.17), while 'moderate-oil/other' reported more (B = 1.03, 95%CI = 0.53, 1.52).
conclusionsPreventing frequent and moderate use of cannabis, particularly of oils/concentrates, is crucial given the potential negative implications for problematic use, quitting, and mental health.
