Gender differences in the relationship between affect and adolescent smoking uptake.
Article in Addiction (Abingdon, England), 2015. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 12 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
aimsTo evaluate gender differences in the role of positive and negative affect on smoking uptake.
designProspective longitudinal cohort study of adolescent health behaviors.
settingFour suburban secondary schools outside Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, USA.
participantsAdolescents (n = 1357) were surveyed every 6 months for 4 years (age 14-18 years). MEASUREMENTS: Smoking and affect were measured via survey at each of the eight time-points.
findingsA two-group associative process latent growth curve model revealed that baseline positive affect was related negatively to smoking progression for females (b = -0.031, Z = -4.00, P < 0.0001) but not for males (P = 0.33). This gender difference was significant, χ(2)((df = 1)) = 8.24, P = 0.0041, indicating that for every standard deviation (SD) decrease in positive affect (SD = 2.90), there was a 10% increase [odds ratio (OR) = 1.10, 95% confidence interval (CI) = 1.04, 1.14] in the odds of smoking progression for females. Baseline negative affect was related significantly and positively to smoking progression for males (b = 0.038, Z =2.874, P = 0.004) and females (b = 0.025, Z =3.609, P < 0.0001), but the gender difference was not significant, χ(2)((df = 1)) = 0.82, P = 0.37. Thus, on average, for every standard deviation (SD = 4.40) increase in baseline negative affect there was a 15% (OR = 1.15, 95% CI = 1.06, 1.26) increase in the odds of smoking progression for males and for females.
conclusionsThe impact of affect on adolescent smoking uptake varies by gender. Low positive affect (low experience of positive feelings or emotions) for females and high negative affect (high experience of negative feelings or emotions) for both males and females increases the risk for adolescent smoking.
