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

Objective: Estimating delta-9 tetrahydrocannabinol (mgTHC) using hits involves converting hits to grams via a grams-per-hit ratio (GPHR). Previous studies assumed a single hit size (SHS), ignoring individual hit size variations. This study investigates a multiple qualitative hit size (MQHS) approach based on self-reported hit sizes (small, medium, large) to improve mgTHC estimates. Method: Adults ( Results: For flower, median GPHR increased with hit size (small: 0.042, medium: 0.062, large: 0.093). The MQHS estimate for mgTHC from flower was higher than SHS for large hits (95% CI: [12.4, 50.0]) but showed no difference for medium or small hits (95% CI: [-3.2, 8.1]; 95% CI: [-27.6, 3.4]). For concentrate, median GPHR was similar for small and medium hits but lower than large hits (small: 0.024, medium: 0.025, large: 0.035). MQHS estimates for mgTHC were higher than SHS for all hit sizes (95% CI: [46.3, 86.3]; 95% CI: [24.8, 45.5]; 95% CI: [11.5, 36.5] for large, medium, small hits, respectively). Conclusions: The MQHS estimates captures hit size variability for flower. The floor effect with median GPHRs for concentrates suggests further investigation is needed for MQHS estimates with concentrates. The MQHS approach illustrates a method to develop new standard GPHRs for each qualitative hit size group, after further investigation.
