Satisfaction with job and family life, and association with smoking and alcohol drinking behaviors among young men in Malawi: analysis from a multiple indicator survey.
Article in BMC research notes, 2019. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 5 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
objectiveThe objective of the present study was to investigate if satisfaction with job and family life has any connection with smoking and alcohol drinking behavior among young men in Malawi.
resultsResults of multivariable logistic regression analysis indicate that compared to men who were unemployed, those who were dissatisfied were 0.90 times less likely to be non-smokers [OR = 0.90; 95% CI = 0.36-2.24], 0.83 times [OR = 0.83; 95% CI = 0.63-1.08] as likely to try drinking alcohol. Among those who reported being satisfied with job, the odds of trying alcohol was relatively more [OR = 0.77; 95% CI = 0.63-0.93], however the odds of cigarette smoking were less [OR = 1.05; 95% CI = 0.48-2.31] relative to those who were unemployed. Results also showed that not being satisfied with overall life increased the odds of smoking and alcohol drinking [OR = 0.60; 95% CI = 0.24-1.46] and [OR = 0.95; 95% CI = 0.72-1.24] respectively compared to those who were satisfied with overall life.
