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
objectiveThis study examined the relationship between depression symptoms and co-use of cannabis and binge drinking by establishing substance use patterns in a sample of Black men. Center for Epidemiologic Studies-Depression Scale scores were compared across four mutually exclusive categories of past-30-day use: cannabis only, binge-drinking only, co-use, and nonuse. We hypothesized that men who engaged in both binge drinking and cannabis use would report the highest depression scores compared to other user groups.
methodPast 30-day substance use data were collected between 2015 and 2016 from 786 Black adult men (
resultsUsing both analysis of covariance and linear regression models, we found a significant main effect of depression scores regressed on substance user types (nonusers, cannabis only, binge-drinking only, and co-users;
conclusionsAs a between-subjects analysis, findings offer insight into population-level affect regulation patterns and may reconcile mixed evidence from within-person studies by highlighting stable risk associations in a structurally disadvantaged group. Results further underscore the need for culturally tailored mental health screening and intervention strategies for minoritized adult populations reporting co-use.
