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
The Australian Capital Territory (ACT), a region that includes Australia's capital, Canberra, decriminalised small-scale cannabis cultivation and possession in January 2020. Here, we examined cannabis use and cultivation behaviours, experiences and attitudes of current and past small-scale ACT cannabis cultivators. ACT residents (n = 311) who currently cultivate or have previously cultivated cannabis completed a cross-sectional online survey ('CAN-ACT') and provided home-grown cannabis for phytocannabinoid analysis (optional). Reasons for cultivation included a preference for home-grown cannabis to self-supply, enjoyment of the process and avoiding criminal networks. Cannabis intake was a median of 1 gram on a typical day used and the number of plants grown per year was a median of 4. Various cultivation challenges were identified, most commonly mould, nutrient deficiency and spider mites. Cannabis samples (n = 71) generally exhibited moderate THC content (mean 8.99 ± SEM 0.51% [w/w]) and low CBD content (< 0.1%). Few samples exceeded contaminant guidelines for heavy metals or pesticides. Respondents identified various grey areas in current legislation that might lead to inadvertent criminal activity, and many (52%) remained anxious about arrest. In general, recent legislative changes appear to support community needs. Options for further legislative refinement are discussed.
