Clinical pain intensity is associated with greater cannabis demand among people who regularly use cannabis.

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
Objectives: Individuals with pain may engage in pain self-management by using cannabis, increasing the risk of cannabis-related consequences. Past research has demonstrated that the presence of next-day responsibilities significantly reduced cannabis demand in regular cannabis users. This study determined the association of pain with cannabis demand, and whether pain would attenuate the effect of next-day responsibilities. Methods: This was a secondary analysis of data from a crowdsourced study of cannabis demand among regular cannabis users (N = 172, 41% women). Participants completed 2 conditions of a marijuana purchase task in counterbalanced order. In one, participants imagined they had a job interview the following morning. In the other, no interview was present. Pain was assessed using the Brief Pain Inventory. Mixed GLM analyses examined the effects of task condition (responsibility vs no responsibility) and pain intensity (a continuous measure) on demand indices, including O Results: Greater pain intensity was associated with greater O Conclusion: Consistent with models suggesting pain is a potent antecedent for substance use and highlighting the importance of effective and accessible pain management, individuals reporting greater pain exhibited both greater amplitude (as reflected by Intensity) and persistence (reflected by O
