Cumulative exposure to cannabis and hippocampus MRI in middle age: results from the coronary artery risk development in young adults (CARDIA) study.
Article in Translational psychiatry, 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
Cannabis was previously associated with worse memory function in men but not in women. As the hippocampus is crucial in the formation and retrieval of memory, we studied if cumulative exposure to cannabis is associated with differences in the hippocampal tissue volume, fractional anisotropy (FA) and cerebral brain perfusion (CBF) by MRI, overall and by sex, stratified by ever tobacco smoking, in multivariable adjusted linear regression models in both sexes. We included participants of the CARDIA cohort, followed since 1985, with cannabis assessed during each follow up. Categories of self-reported cumulative exposure were never, <0.5, 0.5-<2, and >2 cannabis-years, where 1 cannabis-year=365 days of use. We included 648 participants: 52% were women; mean age was 55 years, 86% reported ever using cannabis and 48% ever smoking tobacco. There was no difference in mean hippocampal volume according to greater cumulative use of cannabis. The coefficient of hippocampal volume in participants never smoking tobacco reporting >2 cannabis-years was -37.99mm
