History of Cannabis Use and Obesity Among U.S. Low-Income Veterans: Associations With Mental Health and Psychosocial Functioning.

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
This study examined the independent and joint associations of obesity and history of cannabis use with functioning, psychiatric, behavioral, trauma and homelessness-related outcomes among low-income U.S. veterans who participated in the National Veteran Homeless and Other Poverty Experiences study. The analytic sample included 600 veterans who reported obesity and/or a history of cannabis use. Participants were categorized into Cannabis-only (38.1%), where cannabis use was assessed via the survey question asking whether participants ever used cannabis more than once to get high or alter their mood; Obesity-only (36.9%), where obesity was based on participants’ current BMI; and Cannabis+Obesity (25.0%) groups. The Cannabis+Obesity group showed poorer physical, social, and emotional functioning compared with the Obesity-only and Cannabis-only groups, whereas mental health scores did not differ from the Cannabis-only group. The odds of interpersonal trauma were higher in the Cannabis+Obesity group relative to the Obesity-only group. However, the Cannabis+Obesity and Cannabis-only groups were similar in psychiatric and trauma measures. The Cannabis+Obesity group had higher likelihood of incarceration compared to Obesity-only and lower odds of lifetime suicidal attempts compared to the Cannabis-only group. Housing instability was higher in the Cannabis+Obesity group, with greater odds of lifetime and current homelessness compared to the Obesity-only group, and higher odds of lifetime eviction and/or foreclosure compared to both the Obesity-only and Cannabis-only groups. The findings suggest distinct and compounded vulnerabilities among low-income veterans with current obesity and histories of cannabis use.
