[Cannabis and adolescents in Spain: use and consequences. State of play].
Observational study in Revista espanola de salud publica, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
objectiveThe use and abuse of cannabis produces lifelong socio-health consequences. However, there is a great movement towards its legalization. The purpose of this study was to assess the evolution of the prevalence of drug use in the young population in Spain, as well as the impact it currently has on our social and health care system.
methodsA national observational descriptive study was carried out in students aged fourteen-eighteen years living in Spain. The data sources used were: ESTUDES survey; Evolutionary data from Intelligence Center against Terrorism and Organized Crime (CITCO) on THC content in cannabis plants and resin; State Information System on Drugs and Addictions (SEIDA) indicators: Admissions to treatment and Hospital emergencies related to the consumption of psychoactive substances. The data obtained were processed with the statistical program SPSS version 28.0 (Armonk, NY: IBM Corp). Continuous variables were described using measures of central tendency and dispersion, while categorical variables were described using absolute frequencies and percentages. To compare independent means, Student's t-test was applied and for the comparison of categorical variables, the chi-square statistical test was used; in both cases differences with p<0.001 were considered significant.
resultsIn the last year, 21.8% of the students consumed cannabis. A total of 92.3% of the admissions to treatment were for this substance. Cannabis was present in 57.3% of emergencies related to illegal drug use.
conclusionsAs is the case in Europe, cannabis continues to be the illegal drug most widely consumed by young people in our country; it is responsible for most of the social and health adverse consequences of the consumption of illegal substances in young people.
