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

introductionCannabis use has risen disproportionately among middle-aged and older U.S. adults, groups particularly vulnerable to adverse effects, including cannabis use disorder (CUD). Consumption patterns have diversified in recent years. The quantity of cannabis use, historically measured in limited ways (e.g., number of joints), is now considered a key risk factor for CUD. However, age-related differences in consumption patterns and their relationships with CUD remain understudied. This study investigated age-related differences in consumption patterns and examined the relationship between quantity of use-measured by milligrams of THC (mgTHC)-and self-reported CUD in individuals with regular cannabis use. MATERIALS AND

methodsA total of 4134 U.S. adults (ages 18+; 45.9% male, 54.1% female) who reported daily cannabis use completed an online survey assessing cannabis consumption patterns and self-reported

resultsOverall, over 70% reported using cannabis for both medical and recreational purposes. Middle-aged adults were more likely to report medical use than younger ones (18.1% vs. 13.7%; DISCUSSION: Among daily cannabis consumers, middle-aged and older adults differed from younger consumers in methods of consumption and reasons for use. While both groups consumed lower quantities than their younger counterparts, no age-related differences were observed in the relationship between mgTHC consumption and CUD, contrasting with evidence suggesting that older cannabis consumers may be more vulnerable to cannabis-related negative outcomes.
