High-intensity binge drinking is associated with cigarette smoking and e-cigarette use among US adults aged 40-64 years: Findings from the 2017 BRFSS survey.

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
introductionThis study aims to assess the association of cigarette smoking, including e-cigarette use, with level of binge drinking, especially high-intensity and extreme high-intensity binge drinking, among a nationally representative sample of middle-aged US adults.
methodsData were derived from the 2017 Behavioral Risk Factor Surveillance System (BRFSS). The final sample consisted of 162748 respondents aged 40-64 years (48.7% male). Weighted distributions of sample characteristics were estimated by intensity of binge drinking. Pearson chi-squared tests were used to compare groups. Bivariate and multivariate logistic regressions were used to estimate crude and adjusted odds ratios to indicate the strength of the association between independent variables and each level of binge drinking.
resultsIn all, 2.3% and 0.7% of the sample reported high-intensity and extreme high-intensity binge drinking, respectively. Past-month high-intensity and extreme high-intensity binge drinking were reported in 36.3% and 45.0% of smokers, respectively. Mental distress was positively associated with both levels of high-intensity binge drinking; having multiple chronic health conditions was negatively associated with past-month high-intensity binge drinking. Smokers had 3.27 (95% CI: 2.69-3.98) and 4.14 (95% CI: 3.12-5.49) times greater odds of reporting past-month high-intensity and extreme high-intensity binge drinking, respectively. E-cigarette users had 1.56 (95% CI: 1.01-2.42) times increased odds of reporting past-month high-intensity binge drinking, but not extreme high-intensity binge drinking. The largest odds were seen among dual users reporting extreme high-intensity binge drinking (AOR=6.05; 95% CI: 3.78-9.68) in the past month.
conclusionsCigarette smoking and e-cigarette use were potentially strong risk factors for high-intensity binge drinking, with cigarette smoking associated with extreme high-intensity binge drinking.
