Harnessing machine learning and multivariate analysis to explore global trends in Cannabis sativa research.
Article in Journal of cannabis research, 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
This study employs advanced data science techniques to explore global research trends in Cannabis sativa from 1974 to 2024. This research integrated bibliographic datasets from PubMed, Scopus, and Web of Science. By combining latent Dirichlet allocation (LDA) and HJ-Biplot methods, we extracted actionable insights from large-scale data to address the current gap in long-term global research monitoring. The analysis identified key research topics, geographic disparities, and temporal trends, providing a comprehensive overview of the evolution of Cannabis sativa studies. The results highlight an increasing focus on the medical applications of Cannabis sativa, particularly in North America and Europe, while highlighting research gaps in emerging regions such as Africa and South America. Furthermore, the integration of multivariate methods with machine learning offers a replicable framework for managing large bibliographic datasets and enhancing data-driven decision-making in research management. Additionally, combining topic modeling with multivariate visualization provides a novel framework to understand how research themes evolve and interact. This approach serves as a strategic tool for stakeholders navigating the rapidly changing cannabis field.
