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

Within the expanding US cannabis market, young adult cannabis use has increased, underscoring the need to understand key influences on cannabis use. This study examined cannabis-related social and marketing exposures in relation to cannabis use and related mechanisms among US young adults. This study analyzed 2023 survey data from 4031 US young adults (ages 18-34; ∼48.8% past-month cannabis use (by study design); M Parental use was associated with lower perceived harm and higher motives; friends' use with lower perceived harm and higher motives; advertising exposure with higher perceived addictiveness, harm, and motives; higher perceived addictiveness with lower use likelihood but more frequent use among those who used; and lower perceived harm and higher motives with use status and frequency. Parental and friends' use showed direct effects on use status and frequency; advertising exposure showed direct effects on use status. Perceived harm and motives mediated associations between parental use and use status and frequency. Perceived addictiveness, harm, and use motives mediated associations between friends' use to use status and frequency, and advertising exposure to use status and frequency (except not perceived addictiveness for friends' use to frequency). Understanding these links is crucial to inform policies and interventions to reduce cannabis exposures and use-related harms.
