LGBT-THC: A Systematic Review of Psychosocial Mechanisms Linking Minority Stressors and Cannabis Use among Sexual and Gender Minoritized Individuals.
Article in Current addiction reports, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 papers.
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
Purpose of Review: There are disproportionately elevated rates of cannabis use and cannabis use disorder (CUD) among sexual and gender minoritized (SGM) individuals. Minority stressors (e.g., victimization, internalized stigma) are a robust predictor of SGM cannabis and related outcomes. The psychological mediation framework posits that changes in coping and emotion regulation, social/interpersonal, cognitive, and SGM group-specific functioning explain associations between minority stress and cannabis outcomes. This systematic review covers the extant literature evaluating the putative mechanisms that link minority stress to cannabis use and related outcomes. Recent Findings: Searches were conducted on MEDLINE, Embase, PsycInfo, CINAHL, and Web of Science through November 2023. We identified 12 articles. We sorted mechanisms using categories from the psychological mediation framework. Several studies evaluated coping and emotion regulation mechanisms, with strongest support for cannabis coping motives and preliminary support for depressive symptoms and emotion dysregulation. Few studies evaluated social/interpersonal and cognitive mechanisms, and none found support for these mechanisms. Lastly, there was preliminary support for internalized hetero/cissexism as a group-specific mechanism. Summary: The findings of this review provide some support for the psychological mediation framework, highlight future directions for research testing this framework, and underscore some targets of intervention related to cannabis use and CUD among SGM individuals.
