Predictors of medical and non-medical motives of cannabis use in Finland: A cross-sectional survey study.
Article in iScience, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
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
Policies regarding cannabis continue to develop worldwide as scientific research into benefits and harms for both therapeutic and recreational use becomes more detailed. Here, we report results from a cross-sectional survey (n = 537) from Finland which aimed to identify factors associated with cannabis use for recreational versus medical purposes. Several demographic and cannabis related factors were used to predict medical cannabis use with logistic regression analysis. Medical cannabis use was associated with female gender, older age, lower education, using edible cannabis products such as oils, and using cannabis more frequently compared to recreational use. The study points toward important demographic, behavioral, and use factors differentiating recreational and therapeutic use of cannabis. These are relevant to consider when designing future studies as well as appropriate harm reduction and cannabis policy measures for the needs of different people who use cannabis and cannabinoids for multifactorial motives experiencing various effects.
