Disparities in Exposure to Cannabis Marketing and Perceptions of Inequalities in Possession Treatment: Differences Across Intersections of Sociodemographic Subgroups.
Article in Journal of racial and ethnic health disparities, 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
backgroundCannabis-related concerns include young adult use and sociodemographic disparities. We examined sociodemographic subgroup perceptions of targeted cannabis-related law enforcement and marketing.
methodsUS young adults (N = 4,031) aged 18-34 were recruited via Facebook in 2023 to participate in an online survey. Multivariable linear regressions examined gender, sexual orientation, race, and ethnicity in relation to (1) perceived unfair treatment of certain groups for cannabis possession, (2) perceived cannabis industry targeting of certain groups, (3) noticing promotions targeting certain groups, (4) exposure to cannabis-related risk information, and (5) exposure to cannabis-related advertisements. We also examined potential groups that may be at higher risk (moderation).
resultsBlack (vs. White), Hispanic (vs. not), transgender (vs. cisgender male), nonbinary (vs. cisgender male), and sexual minority (vs. heterosexual) individuals tended to perceive more unfair treatment of cannabis possession. Moderation findings indicated strong associations regarding perceptions of unfair possession treatment among Black transgender (simple slope=-0.60) and Black sexual minority individuals (simple slope=-0.18). Black (vs. White) and Hispanic (vs. not) individuals had more past 6-month exposure to cannabis-related risk information, while transgender (vs. cisgender male), nonbinary (vs. cisgender male), and sexual minority (vs. heterosexual) had less. Black (vs. White) individuals also had more past 6-month cannabis advertisement exposure, perceived more industry targeted marketing, and noticed cannabis-related promotions targeting certain groups more frequently (particularly strong among cisgender female Asians [simple slope = 0.28] and Black sexual minority individuals [simple slope=-0.30]). DISCUSSION: Cannabis-related inequities, particularly among racial minorities and LGBTQ individuals, suggest the need for regulatory and intervention efforts to reduce disparities.
