How Cannabis Advertising and Price-Based Sales Promotion Shape Early Use: A National Study of Adolescents and Young Adults.

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
purposeTo examine associations between cannabis advertising and price-based promotions and cannabis initiation among U.S. adolescents and young adults (AYAs).
methodsWe used two-wave panel data (2024-2025) from a nationally representative sample of U.S. AYAs aged 15-20 who were current cannabis users or susceptible to cannabis use. Initiation was defined as: recent use initiation (past 30-day use in wave 2, no past-30-day use in wave 1) and lifetime initiation (ever use in wave 2, never use in wave 1). Advertising and price-based promotion exposure were measured over the past six months. Logistic and split-population survival models were estimated to examine associations with initiation.
resultsExposure to any advertising was positively associated with initiation (logistic:
conclusionsCannabis advertising and price-based promotions are linked to initiation among AYAs. As cannabis commercialization expands amid limited marketing oversight, these findings highlight the need for policies that limit AYAs' exposure to cannabis advertising and price promotion.
