Relationship between cigarette smoking and childhood symptoms of inattention and hyperactivity/impulsivity in alcohol-dependent adults without attention-deficit hyperactivity disorder.

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
backgroundSymptoms of inattention and hyperactivity/impulsivity that fall below the DSM-IV diagnostic threshold for attention-deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) may be associated with the high prevalence of smoking among individuals with alcohol dependence, yet no studies to date have examined the relationship between subthreshold ADHD symptoms and cigarette smoking in this group. We hypothesized that increasing levels of ADHD symptoms would be associated with increasing risk of lifetime smoking and nicotine dependence, concentration problems secondary to nicotine withdrawal, and maintenance of smoking.
methodsParticipants were alcohol-dependent adults (n = 242) who did not meet criteria for ADHD or a current Axis I disorder other than alcohol and nicotine dependence. All participants were involved in treatment for alcohol dependence but not smoking cessation. The Semi-Structured Assessment for the Genetics of Alcoholism was administered to collect demographic and smoking history data and to assess symptoms of ADHD and other psychiatric disorders.
resultsA higher number of self-reported ADHD symptoms were associated with increased likelihood of ever smoking (p = .026), nicotine dependence (p = .017), and impaired concentration as a symptom of nicotine withdrawal (p = .046). There was no relationship between the number of ADHD symptoms and classification as a former versus current smoker (p = .333).
conclusionsChildhood symptoms of inattention and hyperactivity/impulsivity are related to cigarette smoking and nicotine dependence among alcohol-dependent individuals at levels below the ADHD diagnostic threshold. Conceptualization of ADHD symptoms as occurring on a continuum may aid identification of and early intervention for individuals who are at highest risk for initiating smoking and developing nicotine dependence.
