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

purposeThe aim of the presented study was to perform an initial validation of the Experimental Cannabis Marketplace (ECM) by comparing behavioral economic indices generated from the Marijuana Purchase Task (MPT), and to measures associated with problematic cannabis use. PROCEDURES: Participants (n = 63) were recruited from CloudResearch and completed a survey containing the MPT, the ECM, and measures associated with problematic cannabis use (Cannabis Use Problem Identification Test, Marijuana Craving Questionnaire-Short Form). Nonlinear regression was used to determine behavioral economic indices from the MPT and the ECM. Then, Spearman's rho correlations between behavioral economic indices and problematic cannabis use measures were calculated.

findingsThe behavioral economic indices of demand intensity and demand elasticity were significantly correlated (medium) between the MPT and the ECM. Demand intensity in the ECM was positively associated with measures of problematic cannabis use.

conclusionsPositive associations indicating both convergent and concurrent validity suggest that the ECM is a suitable method for evaluating cannabis demand.
