Cannabis Intoxication Does Not Impact Nutritional Status in Patients With Small Burns.
Article in Journal of burn care & research : official publication of the American Burn Association, 2026. 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
Patients with burn injuries exhibit one of the most intense hypermetabolic responses among critically ill populations, making them highly susceptible to malnutrition-linked to prolonged hospital stays and delayed wound healing. While cannabis is recognized for its appetite-stimulating properties in acute settings, its association with the nutritional demands of burn injuries remains underexplored. A single-institution retrospective study was conducted on adult patients with burn injuries having < 20% TBSA who tested positive for cannabis on admission urine toxicology between 2015 and 2024. These patients were matched 1:1 with controls who tested negative for cannabis. The primary predictor variable was cannabis use, while outcomes included burn characteristics, prealbumin and albumin levels, overall outcomes, and complications. Significance was set at P < .05. We analyzed 76 cannabis-positive patients with burn injuries and 76 controls. No significant differences were found in demographics or outcomes. When controlling for body mass index, cannabis intoxication was not significantly associated with changes in admission prealbumin (18.8 vs 19.2, P = .804) or admission albumin (3.9 vs 4.0, P = .375) levels. There was also no significant variation in the number of days postadmission required to achieve peak prealbumin (3.8 vs 3.9, P = .876) and albumin level (0.3 vs 1.0, P = .088). Increased age was associated with a reduction in admission albumin (P < .001), and Caucasian patients had increased albumin compared to other races (P = .048). Cannabis intoxication had no significant association with preburn injury nutritional status. Further research with larger sample sizes is necessary to fully understand the complex relationship.
