Population-level patterns and mental health and substance use correlates of alcohol, marijuana, and tobacco use and co-use in US young adults and adults: Results from the population assessment for tobacco and health.
Article in The American journal on addictions, 2018. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 46 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled 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.
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
BACKGROUND AND
objectivesThis study identified the most common patterns of current alcohol and marijuana use with the spectrum of tobacco products (cigarettes, hookah, e-cigarettes, cigars/little cigars, and other products), among US young adults and older adults and examined associations of mental health and substance use problems with each pattern.
methodsWave 1 adult dataset (2013-2014) of the Population Assessment of Tobacco and Health (PATH) Study. Weighted analyses estimated the prevalence of the top 10 patterns of current alcohol, marijuana, and tobacco use and co-use separately by young adults aged 18-24 (n = 9,112) and adults 25+ years (n = 23,208). Multivariable models examined associations of substance use and mental health problems to patterns of use, adjusting for demographics.
resultsAcross both age groups, alcohol-only use was the most popular use pattern (20.7% for young adults and 32.2% older adults) however poly-substance use patterns were more frequent than single use patterns. Cigarettes were the only tobacco product used exclusively; all other tobacco products were used with together, or with alcohol or marijuana. Only one young adult pattern emerged containing e-cigarettes, and this pattern included co-use with alcohol and cigarettes (1.3%). Mental health and substance use problems were most strongly correlated with dual and poly-substance use patterns, regardless of age. SCIENTIFIC SIGNIFICANCE: Prevention and intervention campaigns should focus on multiple product use, as single substance use is uncommon. Alcohol is common in all patterns, suggesting it should also gain more focus in marijuana and tobacco prevention and intervention programs. (Am J Addict 2018;27:491-500).
