Tobacco Use and Its Association with Mental Morbidity and Health Compromising Behaviours in Adolescents in Indonesia.
Article in Asian Pacific journal of cancer prevention : APJCP, 2021. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 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
backgroundLimited evidence has been established on associations between tobacco use and mental morbidity and health compromising behaviours. The study aimed to investigate the associations between tobacco use, mental problems, and health risk behaviour among adolescents attending school in Indonesia.
methodsNationally representative data were studied from 11,124 adolescents that took part in the cross-sectional "Indonesia Global School-Based Student Health Survey (GSHS) in 2015".
resultsThe prevalence of current tobacco use was 12.8%. In adjusted logistic regression analysis, compared to non-current or never tobacco users, current tobacco use was associated with eight of eight mental problem indicators (lonely, anxiety, no close friend, suicidal ideation, suicide plan, suicide attempt and current alcohol use), two of four dietary risk behaviours (soft drink and fast food consumption) and seven of ten other health risk behaviours (in a physical fight, bullied, injury, ever sex, school truancy, and two sub-optimal hand hygiene behaviours).
conclusionCompared to nontobacco users, current tobacco users had significantly higher mental problem indicators and health risk behaviours. Multiple comorbidity with tobacco use should be targeted in interventions.
