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

backgroundThe evidence is mixed regarding how socioeconomic status (SES) it is related to cannabis use among adolescents. This study assessed the association between parental SES, measured as the highest level of completed education, and past 12 month cannabis use in older adolescents.

methodSelf-reported survey data from the first and second wave of a nationwide cohort study (Futura01) were used (n = 3328). Register information on parental education was linked to the survey data. Two measures of cannabis use were considered: any use during the past 12 months, and use 10 + times during the past 12 months. Control variables included demographics, family and school variables, conduct and emotional problems, and cannabis use at baseline. Multilevel Poisson regression was used to assess the associations.

resultsAdolescents having parents with low SES had a lower risk for any cannabis use during the past 12 months, ranging from RR = 0.71 (95% CI = 0.49-1.01) in the unadjusted model to RR = 0.61 (95% CI = 0.42-0.87) in the most adjusted model compared to adolescents with parents having high SES. Compared to those with parents with high SES, those with parents with intermediate SES had lower risk for any cannabis use past 12 months, with RRs ranging from 0.79 (95% CI = 0.59-1.07) in the unadjusted model to RR = 0.71 (95% CI = 0.53-0.95) in the fully adjusted model. For use 10 + times, non-significant associations were observed.

conclusionAdolescents with parents with lower SES had a lower risk of any past 12 months cannabis use. For more frequent use, no statistically significant associations were observed.
