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

objectivesNondaily smokers represent a growing proportion of current smokers in the United States. However, little is known about which characteristics are important in distinguishing between nondaily smokers who are former daily smokers (converted nondaily) and nondaily smokers who never smoked daily (native nondaily). This study contrasts converted and native nondaily smokers on demographic, psychosocial, tobacco-related characteristics and quit intentions and behaviors in a tri-ethnic sample (Blacks, Whites, and Latinos) of smokers.

methodsSmokers were recruited for a web-based survey using an online panel survey company. Participants were 1,201 nondaily smokers (904 converted nondaily smokers and 297 native nondaily smokers). A multivariable logistic regression was conducted to assess the associations between demographic, smoking-related, and psychosocial variables with converted versus native nondaily smoking.

resultsLogistic regression indicated that number of years smoking, years as a nondaily smoker, number of days smoked in a month, smoking dependence, identity as a smoker, and number of smoking cessation methods used were correlates of being converted nondaily smokers versus native nondaily smokers.

conclusionsClinicians and researchers should consider characteristic variations in nondaily smokers when designing and implementing intervention efforts targeting this smoking population.
