1 · What the graph read from 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.

2 · The registry

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 examines the demographic characteristics, transgender-specific factors, and discrimination experiences associated with current cigarette smoking, e-cigarette use/vaping, and dual use in a large sample of transgender people.

methodsThis was a secondary analysis of the 2015 U.S. Transgender Survey (n=27,715). Conducted in 2019, logistic regression models were used to estimate the AORs and 95% CIs of current smoking, e-cigarette use/vaping, and dual use among transgender people.

resultsOverall, 23.6% of respondents used cigarettes, 9.3% used e-cigarettes/vaping products, and 5.2% reported dual use within the past 30 days. Visually nonconforming individuals had greater odds (cigarettes: AOR=1.49, 95% CI=1.35, 1.65; e-cigarettes/vaping: AOR=1.43, 95% CI=1.25, 1.65; dual use: AOR=1.81, 95% CI=1.52, 2.15) than visually conforming individuals. Transgender people who had disclosed their transgender identity to their social networks had greater odds of cigarette smoking (AOR=1.30, 95% CI=1.17, 1.45), e-cigarette use/vaping (AOR=1.30, 95% CI=1.12, 1.52), and dual use (AOR=1.95, 95% CI=1.61, 2.35) than individuals who were out to none or some people within their networks. Experiencing discrimination (i.e., unequal treatment, verbal harassment, or physical assault) significantly increased the odds for cigarette smoking, e-cigarette use/vaping, and dual use. Transgender people who experienced all 3 types of discrimination had 2 times greater odds of current cigarette smoking (AOR=2.06, 95% CI=1.79, 2.37) and dual use (AOR=2.17, 95% CI=1.73, 2.74) than those who had not experienced discrimination.

conclusionsDiscrimination, visual nonconformity, and being out as transgender increased the odds of cigarette smoking, e-cigarette use/vaping, and dual use. This study informs disease prevention efforts for transgender populations with increased risks for these health behaviors.
