Mostly Smokers: Identifying Subtypes of Emerging Adult Substance Users.
Article in Substance use & misuse, 2016. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 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
backgroundThe concurrent use of marijuana and other substances among emerging adults (ages 18-25) is a major public health problem. This study examined if there are distinct subtypes of emerging adult marijuana users and if these are associated with demographic and substance use variables.
methodsThe design was a cross-sectional interview with a community sample of 1,503 emerging adults in the northeastern U.S. who reported last month marijuana use. We used latent class analysis (LCA) to identify distinct subtypes of emerging adults who used additional substances and examined predictors of the latent classes.
resultsWe identified three distinct classes of emerging adults who use substances: "mostly smokers" (those who primarily use marijuana and nicotine), "moderate users" (those who primarily use marijuana and/or heavy episodic alcohol), and "polysubstance users." Polysubstance users had higher probabilities of use of all assessed substances (e.g. cocaine, opiates, sleep medications, stimulants, synthetic marijuana, and inhalants) than the other two groups. Not being currently enrolled in school and male gender were associated with mostly smokers and polysubstance users group status.
conclusionsWe identified a distinct group of emerging adult marijuana users who primarily smoke marijuana and cigarettes, suggesting that there could be a shared vulnerability for risk of co-occurrence.
