Covariates of risky health behaviors in pediatric cancer survivors during adolescence.
Article in Journal of psychosocial oncology, 2021. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 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
purposeAdolescent survivors of pediatric cancers may use alcohol and tobacco (73-90% and 10-29%, respectively) at similar rates as their healthy peers despite known adverse health effects of these substances. This is concerning given that these behaviors can increase the risk for adverse late effects among this population. This study explores the beliefs and behaviors associated with alcohol and tobacco use among adolescent survivors of pediatric cancer.
designCross-sectional study using assessment questionnaires by telephone.
participantsAdolescent cancer survivors who had been seen at Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center (
methodsQuestionnaires concerned participants' medical history, current health behaviors, attitudes about health behaviors, fear of cancer recurrence, cancer worry, knowledge of risk, and perceived risk of future health problems. Univariate and multiple logistic regression analyses determined the association between psychological covariates with having ever used alcohol and cigarettes.
resultsIn multiple logistic regression, higher positive attitude (OR = 3.65; CONCLUSION AND IMPLICATIONS FOR PSYCHOSOCIAL PROVIDERS: Understanding the uptake of risky health behaviors and factors related to tobacco and alcohol use for adolescent survivors is imperative to promoting lifelong healthy behaviors and potentially reducing future adverse health effects. Despite broadly disseminated public service campaigns and anticipatory guidance of our cancer specialists to inform youth about the adverse effects of alcohol and tobacco use, there remains a gap in adolescent cancer survivors' knowledge of these risks. More effective interventions to increase knowledge of the risks of drinking and smoking are needed to bridge this gap.
