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

backgroundTo estimate the prevalence of cannabis use among adults attending primary care, identify the age of initiation and associated sociodemographic characteristics, and describe patterns of dependence risk.

methodsA cross-sectional descriptive study was conducted in three primary healthcare centres in the Barcelona metropolitan area. Adults aged 18 - 45 years were selected by simple random sampling. Telephone interviews used cannabis related questions from the Alcohol, Smoking and Substance Involvement Screening Test (ASSIST), validated by the World Health Organization. Cannabis use prevalence and dependence risk were analysed by sociodemographic characteristics using multiple logistic regression.

resultsOf 237 individuals contacted, 221 participated (93.25%). Among the participants, 58.8% were women, with a mean age of 33.5 years (SD = 8.1). Overall, 53.4% had used cannabis at least once in their lifetime, with a mean age of initiation of 18.4 years (SD = 4.1). Among lifetime users, 25.4% had a moderate risk of dependence. After adjustment for age and socioeconomic status, cannabis use was more likely among men than women (OR = 2.11; 95% CI: 1.21-3.72). Overall, 22.9% had used cannabis within the previous three months, and 81.5% of these users had a moderate risk of dependence. Moderate dependence risk was more frequent with lower educational attainment.

conclusionsCannabis use prevalence exceeded that reported in previous studies and was higher in men. One-quarter of lifetime cannabis users had a moderate risk of dependence according to the ASSIST, particularly those with lower educational attainment.
