A Survey on the Use of Cannabidiol (CBD) Isolate, Its Perceived Benefits, and Associated Side Effects Among Subjects With Chronic Pain.

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
introductionChronic pain is a pervasive health issue in the United States, affecting up to 50 million adults and contributing to a substantial economic burden. The worsening opioid crisis has increased the need for nonopiate, nonaddictive alternatives to pain management. Cannabidiol (CBD) has recently garnered attention for its potential analgesic and anti-inflammatory properties without addictive or dependence potential. However, there is limited research regarding the efficacy and safety of CBD in the treatment of chronic pain. This study aimed to explore the use of CBD isolate in adults suffering from chronic pain.
methodsWe decided to investigate its perceived effectiveness, dosage, frequency of use, and reported side effects through a publicly available, completely anonymous Qualtrics survey. This survey was posted online and in multiple medical clinics.
resultsThe key findings of our anonymous online survey are that the use of cannabinoids is positively associated with decreased chronic pain, even at low dosages (<100 mg). In addition, though some mild side effects are noted, the majority of patients self-report no side effects, and there are no noted severe side effects.
conclusionThese findings suggest that CBD may serve as a promising alternative to conventional pain management strategies. However, the results warrant further investigation and research into the efficacy and safety of CBD for chronic pain. We believe these data point the way for new and continued avenues of research that can better optimize treatment regimens and help patients with chronic pain.
