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
objectiveCannabis is among the most commonly used substances by adolescents and is frequently associated with the development of addiction. Various individual, environmental and psychological factors are associated with the onset and maintenance of cannabis use disorder (CUD). Our study aimed to compare levels of depression, anxiety, stress, perceived cognitive flexibility and metacognitive beliefs in adolescents diagnosed with CUD with those in a healthy control (HC) group. Another objective was to investigate the relationship between CUD severity and these parameters within the CUD group.
methodsOur study included a total of 69 patients aged 12-18 years with a diagnosis of CUD and 83 age- and gender-matched HC subjects. Participants completed the Sociodemographic Data Form, Addiction Profile Index (API), Metacognition Scale-Children and Adolescents Form (MCQ-C), Cognitive Flexibility Scale (CFS) and Depression-Anxiety-Stress Scale (DASS-21).
resultsPatients with CUD had significantly higher MCQ-C total scores (p = 0.033), higher levels of superstition-punishment-responsibility beliefs (p = 0.001) and higher DASS-21 scores (p < 0.001) compared to the HC group. Perceived cognitive flexibility was significantly lower in the CUD group (p < 0.001). Higher levels of negative metacognitive beliefs (p = 0.006) and total emotional symptoms in the CUD group were positively associated with CUD severity (p < 0.001, F = 7.512, R
conclusionThese results demonstrate the significant association between metacognitive beliefs, accompanying emotional symptoms and perceived cognitive flexibility in adolescents with CUD. Our findings highlight the importance of addressing these psychological correlates during treatment planning. Interventions targeting not only substance use reduction but also these associated cognitive and metacognitive factors may be beneficial for improving treatment outcomes.
