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

The growing use of cannabis for both recreational and medicinal purposes has raised concerns about its cutaneous adverse effects. While systemic implications of cannabis are widely reported, dermatological manifestations remain underrecognized and underreported. This review aims to consolidate existing literature on cannabis-related dermatological complications, including allergic contact dermatitis, urticaria, Stevens-Johnson syndrome (SJS), and cannabis-induced arteritis. Emphasis is placed on mechanisms involving the endocannabinoid system in the skin, case reports of dermatological reactions, and implications for clinical dermatology. A structured methodology was applied to source peer-reviewed articles from databases including PubMed and Scopus, selecting studies published between 2000 and 2024 that directly addressed dermatological outcomes of cannabis use. Findings suggest a growing need for clinician awareness of cannabis as a potential etiologic agent in dermatological pathology. Future dermatology-focused research is essential to understand causality, diagnostic criteria, and effective treatment strategies.
