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

Introduction: Cannabis as a therapeutic agent is accessible to a growing number of people, though research suggests that many medical cannabis (MC) users undertake their cannabinoid therapy independently, without collaborating with a cannabis clinician or informing their primary care provider (PCP). The effects of medical collaboration or disclosure to PCP on outcomes of cannabinoid therapy are unknown. Researchers anticipate that those who collaborate with a cannabis clinician or disclose their medical cannabis use to their PCP will find MC to be more effective, use less delta-9-tetrahydrocannabinol (THC) and more cannabidiol (CBD), and experience fewer side effects. Methods: Through an online survey, medical cannabis users reported their cannabis usage patterns, health outcomes, PCP awareness, and collaboration with cannabis clinicians. These responses were analyzed using a variety of statistical tests to search for differences in reported efficacy, specific cannabinoid, and side effects between different levels of medical professional involvement ( Results: Patients who either worked with a cannabis clinician or reported their use of their PCP reported significantly higher efficacy ( Conclusion: The results indicated that undertaking cannabinoid therapy with PCP awareness or guidance from a cannabis clinician is associated with better outcomes.
