Social media use, cannabis attitudes, and cannabis use among adolescents: An observational study.
Article in Preventive medicine reports, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 papers.
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
Objective: Adolescents with frequent (versus infrequent) social media use display higher cannabis use prevalence. This study examined associations of social media use frequency with pro-cannabis attitudes, an actionable intervention target. Methods: Youth aged 13-17 in Oklahoma, United States completed an online, cross-sectional survey (March-October 2023) measuring social media use frequency (0-1.5 vs. 1.5+ hours/day), pro-cannabis attitudes (e.g., "cannabis is an effective treatment for mental health problems"), past-month cannabis use (yes/no), and individual characteristics (e.g., age, tobacco use). Regression models tested associations of social media use frequency with pro-cannabis attitudes, pro-cannabis attitudes with past-month cannabis use, and social media use frequency with past-month cannabis use. Results: The sample ( Conclusions: Adolescents with frequent social media use may develop pro-cannabis attitudes, which may be associated with future cannabis use. Prevention messaging could target attitudes.
