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

objectiveDriving after cannabis use (DACU) represents a growing public health concern among emerging adults as cannabis legalization and rates of daily use continue to increase. More frequent cannabis users may hold more permissive beliefs and engage in more frequent cannabis-impaired driving behaviors, yet few studies have directly tested this assumption.

methodParticipants were 149 emerging adult cannabis users (74.1% women; average age = 20.70; 79.2% White) from the Southeastern United States who endorsed DACU at least three times in the past 3 months. Participants completed measures assessing cannabis use frequency, DACU-related behaviors (DACU, riding with a cannabis-impaired driver, using cannabis

resultsCannabis use frequency was significantly associated with greater engagement in DACU, riding with a cannabis-impaired driver, using cannabis

conclusionsMore frequent cannabis users appear to underestimate impairment and engage in riskier driving behaviors. Research in more representative samples is needed given that this sample was majority female, White, non-Hispanic, and college-attending.
