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

objectiveTo examine the association between adverse childhood events (ACEs) and cannabis use among adult cancer survivors in the United States.

methodsWe conducted a cross-sectional study of cancer survivors ≥ 18 years old using 2020 Behavioral Risk Factor Surveillance System data. ACEs were categorized as 0, 1, 2-3, and ≥ 4. Weighted multivariable logistic regression estimated the odds of cannabis use by ACE category.

resultsAmong 7896 cancer survivors, cannabis use prevalence was 6.0%. ACE distribution was 44.1% (0), 22.7% (1), 20.2% (2-3), and 13.0% (≥ 4). Cannabis use was more common among younger adults, Hispanics, never-married individuals, smokers, and those reporting fair/poor health. Compared to those with 0 ACEs, cancer survivors with 2-3 ACEs (aOR: 2.56, 95% CI: 1.57-4.27) and ≥ 4 ACEs (aOR: 4.10, 95% CI: 2.54-6.64) had significantly higher odds of cannabis use.

conclusionsCancer survivors with a higher number of ACEs reported increased odds of cannabis use. These findings support further study of ACEs and substance use in cancer survivors and may inform trauma-informed survivorship care.
