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
Background: The increasing prevalence of marijuana usage has prompted research into the potential medical effects. Yet, there is a paucity of literature surrounding the impact on perioperative outcomes after orthopaedic surgeries among pediatric and adolescent populations. Purpose: To compare perioperative outcomes between pediatric and adolescent patients who underwent anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction (ACLR) and attested to marijuana use compared with those who did not attest to marijuana use, and whether sociodemographic factors were associated with positive self-reported marijuana attestation. Study Design: Cohort study; Level of evidence, 3. Methods: This study evaluated perioperative outcomes in patients aged ≤20 years who underwent primary ACLR between January 2011 and December 2017. Patients were divided based on self-reported positive marijuana attestation on forms collected during the surgical intake process. Propensity score matching (3:1 ratio) was used to select matched controls based on age, sex, surgeon, and graft type. Perioperative outcomes and complications were compared between those who self-reported positive marijuana attestation and those who did not report marijuana use. Results: Of 4358 eligible patients, 42 self-reported positive marijuana use on attestation forms (0.96% [95% CI, 0.70-1.30]), with 126 patients in the matched cohort. The mean follow-up was 25.26 months (SD, 27.17 [range, 1-125 months). Patients who self-reported positive marijuana use (n = 42) experienced significantly higher rates of overnight admission for pain (90% vs 29%; Conclusion: Positive self-reported marijuana attestation in pediatric and adolescent patients undergoing ACLR was associated with higher rates of overnight admission for pain and prolonged time to RTS, suggesting potential implications for perioperative management and recovery.
