Narrowing and Reversing Sex Gaps in Cannabis Use and Cannabis Use Disorder Among Adolescents and Young Adults.
Article in Journal of studies on alcohol and drugs, 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 4 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
objectiveHistorically, cannabis use and cannabis use disorder (CUD) have been more prevalent among males than among females. However, emerging evidence suggests that cannabis use may be increasing faster among females in younger age groups. This study characterized changes in female versus male differences in cannabis use and CUD across age groups and time.
methodAnnual data from the 2014-2023 National Surveys on Drug Use and Health (NSDUH) were analyzed by age groups (12-17 [adolescents], 18-25 years, and 26 years or older) for past-month cannabis use, past-year daily/near-daily cannabis use (300 or more days), and past-year CUD. Prevalence differences (PDs) in percentage points between females and males were evaluated using generalized linear models.
resultsFrom 2014 to 2023, the prevalence of cannabis use (past-month and daily/near daily) and CUD increased among adults, with shifts in PDs across age groups. In 2022, adolescent females surpassed males in past-month cannabis use (PD = 2.3; 95% CI [1.0, 3.6]). By 2023, both daily/near-daily use and CUD prevalence were higher among adolescent females (e.g., CUD PD = 2.4; 95% CI [1.4, 3.4]). Among adults ages 18-25, all outcomes remained lower among females, but PDs narrowed over the study period. In adults age 26 years or older, females consistently had lower prevalence across all outcomes.
conclusionsResults showed reversals in female versus male differences among adolescents and narrowing gaps among younger adults. Tailored interventions considering sex and age may prevent and reduce CUD. Further research is needed to understand the reasons behind these shifts.
