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

Introduction: Cannabidiol (CBD) is a naturally occurring phytocannabinoid found in Methods: The current research analysed data from the Official Statistics survey, Food and You 2 (n=13 879), Wave 1 (2020), Wave 3 (2021) and Wave 7 (2023). A series of binary logistic regression models were used to identify the characteristics associated with CBD awareness and use. Cluster analyses examined CBD product usage and how consumers decide on a suitable dose/serving. Results: It was identified that 61.9% of respondents had heard of CBD, and of those who had heard of CBD, 17.1% had used CBD in the previous 12 months. The characteristics associated with CBD awareness and use are not uniform. How CBD users decide on a suitable dose/serving varies, with some using a combination of methods, others relying on pack instructions alone or not thinking about this issue. Conclusions: This research offers novel insight into the awareness and use of CBD products across England, Wales and Northern Ireland, providing an evidence base for policymakers to better understand and monitor CBD awareness and use.
