Patterns of alternative tobacco use among adolescent cigarette smokers.
Article in Drug and alcohol dependence, 2012. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 22 papers.
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
introductionAlternative tobacco use among adolescents who smoke cigarettes is a growing public health concern, and evidence suggests that patterns of alternative tobacco use varies with respect to cigarette consumption and frequency of cigarette use. This study aimed to examine (a) whether variations in adolescent cigarette smoking and alternative tobacco use can be explained by underlying subtypes and (b) if these subtypes differ in their demographic and psychosocial characteristics.
methodsUsing data from the 2009 National Youth Tobacco Survey, latent class analysis (LCA) was used to identify patterns of cigarette smoking and alternative tobacco use among 2746 current (past 30-day) smokers. After identification, classes were analyzed using multinomial logistic regression to examine differences based on demographics and smoking-related characteristics.
resultsFour of the six latent classes identified (non-daily light smokers, chippers, chippers-Indulgent, intermittent smokers) reflected consumption, frequency, and history of cigarette use characteristics commonly attributed to light and intermittent smokers, and the remaining two classes (daily smokers, daily smokers-Indulgent) presented cigarette use behaviors commonly attributed to daily smokers. There were clear class differences in levels of alternative tobacco product use, demographics, and psychosocial characteristics.
conclusionsStudy findings are consistent with previous work demonstrating demographic and psychosocial differences between cigarette smokers based on their alternative tobacco use. The six latent classes identified highlight the importance of including measures of alternative tobacco use when characterizing adolescent cigarette smokers as well as recognizing and tailoring interventions toward these different groups of tobacco users.
