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
introductionCigarette smoking is an important health hazard and major preventable cause of morbidity and mortality. This study aimed to assess the prevalence of cigarette smoking among Tabor secondary and preparatory school students in Hawassa City, Ethiopia, 2018.
methodsA school-based cross-sectional study was conducted among 564 students aged 15-22 years using simple random sampling techniques, in the period 5-19 March 2018. Global Youth Tobacco Survey (GYTS) was used to assess smoking behaviours. Logistic regression analyses were employed to identify factors associated with cigarette smoking.
resultsThe student prevalence of cigarette smoking was found to be 11% (95% CI: 8.5-13.9) of which 9.4% were current smokers. The proportion of cigarette smoking among male and female students was 8.2% and 2.8%, respectively. An age ≥18 years (AOR = 3.0, 95% CI: 1.29-7.00), students having friends who smoke (AOR= 4.04, 95% CI: 2.04-7.45), khat chewing (AOR=5.57, 95% CI: 2.44-12.76), alcohol consumption (AOR=4.14, 95% CI: 1.84-9.70) and illegal or illicit drug use (AOR=5.84, 95% CI: 1.96-17.36) were found to be significantly associated with cigarette smoking.
conclusionsCost-effective programs that involve the participation of families, teachers and other stakeholders to deliver health education and which restrict accessibility, advertising and use of substances like alcohol, cigarettes, and other illicit drugs, are highly recommended.
