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

Using 2016-2023 data from the Behavioral Risk Factor Surveillance System (BRFSS), this study examined trends in self-reported past-month poor mental health (≥ 1 day) among individuals using cannabis and disparities in subgroups. From 2016 to 2023, the prevalence of self-reported past-month poor mental health (≥ 1 day) among those using cannabis increased from 54.54% to 67.88%. Women reported higher rates than men (77.08% vs. 60.14%). Young adults (25-34) showed the largest increase (from 51.42% to 77.67%). Hispanics (69.17%) exhibited the highest prevalence in 2023. Findings underscore the need for mental health screening and targeted counseling as cannabis legalization expands.
