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
Background: Some people living with Parkinson's disease (PD) self-administer cannabis-based products to manage symptoms. However, using nonprescribed products can pose risks. In France, PD is not an eligible condition for prescribed cannabis-based products. Investigating healthcare providers' perspectives on this topic is critical as PD might be considered for inclusion in future French medical cannabis programs. Objective: We aimed to explore healthcare providers' acceptability and perceptions regarding the therapeutic use of cannabis and cannabidiol (CBD) for PD in France. Methods: An online cross-sectional survey was conducted among healthcare professionals managing patients with PD in France. Logistic regressions were performed to identify factors associated with their acceptability of cannabis and CBD use to manage PD. Results: The study population comprised 218 professionals, including 45 physicians. Acceptability levels were greater for CBD than for cannabis. Providers very concerned about cannabis dependence were less likely to agree with cannabis use to manage PD. Physicians were 87% and 90% less likely than other providers to agree with the use of cannabis and CBD, respectively, to manage PD. Among physicians, the primary barrier identified to the use of both substances was a lack of evidence to support their therapeutic effectiveness. Conclusions: Among a sample of healthcare providers in France, physicians showed lower acceptability towards cannabis and CBD for PD. CBD was generally more accepted than cannabis. If cannabis-based products were to be authorized for symptom alleviation in PD patients, physicians may require more robust scientific evidence and training before prescribing these treatments.
