The impact of cannabinoids on reproductive function.
Review in Reproduction (Cambridge, England), 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 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
In brief: This review article summarizes the effects of pre- or peri-conceptual exposure to cannabinoids on female and male reproductive function, along with pregnancy outcomes from 2014 to 2024. In particular, it addresses the gaps in knowledge regarding the specific contributions of the major constituents of cannabis, THC and CBD, on reproduction. Abstract: With increased use of cannabis worldwide, especially in our young adult population, there is a great impetus to understand the impact of cannabis and its constituents (i.e. THC and CBD) on pregnancy, fetal outcomes and male and female reproductive function. This review assessed the current evidence (2014-2024) regarding the effects of cannabinoids on reproductive function (male, female and pregnancy) in animal and human studies. In particular, pre- or periconceptual exposure to cannabinoids were assessed to determine their effects across the lifespan along with transgenerational effects. From the outcomes of this review, we conclude there is a greater need for future preclinical and clinical studies to assess how various routes of cannabinoid exposure along with differing mixtures of cannabinoid constituents may interact to impede reproductive health. Collectively, the outcomes of these studies are important to clinicians and regulatory agencies in the context of functional evidence to support policy and decision-making regarding the safety of cannabis use.
