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

Objective: This study examined cannabis use and motives (i.e., medical, non-medical ['recreational']) for first use and current use among young adult cancer survivors (ages 18-39). Method: We analyzed 2024 baseline survey data from 155 young adult cancer survivors ( Results: Of those reporting lifetime use ( Conclusions: A large proportion of young adult survivors first used cannabis for non-medical purposes but also reported medical use. It is crucial to understand use motives and trajectories over time to identify those who may benefit from medical use or face use-related harms.
