Gender differences in circumstances associated with cannabis use.
Article in The American journal on addictions, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 4 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
BACKGROUND AND
objectivesIdentifying circumstances associated with cannabis use is critical to the development of effective interventions for cannabis use disorder (CUD) and circumstances may differ by gender. The Inventory of Drug Taking Situations (IDTS) assesses the types of situations in which individuals most often use drugs through eight subscales: dealing with (1) Unpleasant Emotions; (2) Physical Discomfort; (3) Pleasant Emotions; (4) Testing Personal Control; (5) Urges/Temptations; (6) Conflict with Others; (7) Social Pressure; and (8) Pleasant Times with Others. The aims of this study were to determine if IDTS scores varied by gender in individuals with CUD, and to ascertain if behavioral factors such as cannabis use or stress were differentially associated with IDTS scores by gender.
methodsBaseline data were obtained from a study of 148 nontreatment-seeking individuals with CUD. Data included demographic characteristics, IDTS scores, self-reported past 90-day substance use, and measures of past-month and childhood stress.
resultsWomen reported using cannabis more than men in negative affective contexts, namely when experiencing conflict with others, testing personal control, physical discomfort, and unpleasant emotions. IDTS subscale scores associated with negative affect and pleasant emotions were positively associated with past 90-day cannabis use sessions across genders, use when experiencing negative affect was associated with childhood stress across genders, and use when experiencing unpleasant emotions was differentially associated with recent stress by gender. CONCLUSION AND SCIENTIFIC SIGNIFICANCE: Findings suggest gender differences in circumstances associated with cannabis use with implications for therapeutic development for CUD.
