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

backgroundCannabis use is common among people who use tobacco, however, few studies have examined route-specific cannabis use in the context of tobacco. This study provides nationally representative 2024 prevalence estimates for overall and route-specific cannabis use by tobacco use status.

methodsData were from the nationally representative 2024 Health Information National Trends Survey (N = 6328). Measures included past 12-month cannabis use and route of administration (smoking; vaping; dabbing; eating/drinking (consumed); applying a lotion; 2+ routes) and current any tobacco use. Multivariable logistic regression models examined the association between current tobacco use and past 12-month route-specific cannabis use, adjusting for state-level cannabis legality, reasons for use, and sociodemographic characteristics.

resultsAn estimated 23.1% of US adults reported past 12-month cannabis use: 62.6% smoked, 57.6% consumed, 40.1% vaped, 15.2% applied lotion, and 12.4% dabbed, with over half (52.7%) endorsing >1 route of administration. Cannabis use was higher among adults who currently used tobacco products (46.0%) compared to those who did not (17.4%) (p < 0.001). Among those reporting past 12-month cannabis use, those who currently used tobacco (vs. did not) were more likely to smoke cannabis (73.4% vs. 55.6%, p = 0.001), vape cannabis (52.4% vs. 32.1%, p < 0.001), or use 2+ routes (60% vs 47.9%, p = 0.02).

conclusionsIn 2024, nearly 1 in 2 adults who currently used tobacco reported using cannabis. Current tobacco use was significantly associated with increased likelihood of past 12-month cannabis use. Continued surveillance and research on the interplay of cannabis and tobacco use is needed to understand co-use health effects.
