Substance use and mental health factors associated with self-reported higher risk cannabis use among people with HIV screened in primary care.
Article in BMC public health, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
backgroundWhile cannabis use is prevalent among people with HIV (PWH), factors associated with higher-risk use require further study. We examined factors (mental health, sociodemographics, substance use, HIV clinical markers) associated with risk for cannabis use disorder (CUD) among PWH who used cannabis.
methodsParticipants included adult (≥ 18 years old) PWH from 3 HIV primary care clinics in Kaiser Permanente Northern California who reported past three-month cannabis use through the computerized Tobacco, Alcohol, Prescription medication, and other Substance use (TAPS) screening. Primary outcome was TAPS cannabis score (range 1-3), categorized as any use (1) and higher risk for CUD (≥ 2). Measures included sociodemographics (age, sex, race, neighborhood deprivation index [NDI]), duration of HIV status, Charlson Comorbidity Index (CCI), HIV RNA, CD4 cell counts, higher risk tobacco use (TAPS tobacco score ≥ 2), depression, and anxiety symptoms. Unadjusted and multivariable logistic regression examined factors associated with higher risk for CUD.
resultsOf the complete sample (N = 973; 94.1% Male; 58.5% White; Age
conclusionsBlack race, anxiety and tobacco use were associated with higher risk for CUD among PWH in a multivariable model. Clinical efforts to screen and provide interventions for preventing CUD alongside anxiety and tobacco use among PWH should be evaluated.
