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

The relationship between the endocannabinoid system and the emergence and treatment of schizophrenia-related symptoms continues to be a topic of significant interest within psychiatry. Cannabis is the most widely used recreational drug worldwide, and individuals with schizophrenia use it at a much higher rate than the general population. The shared genetic risk for schizophrenia and cannabis use may partially account for this phenomenon. However, the exposure to cannabis in individuals at risk of schizophrenia appears to not only represent the manifestation of overlapping risks, but also pharmacological exacerbation of an already altered cortical system. Thus, cannabis use dose-dependently increases the likelihood of receiving a schizophrenia diagnosis, acutely exacerbates schizophrenia symptoms, and worsens long-term prognosis for individuals with schizophrenia. The psychoactive substance in cannabis, Δ
