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

purposeDescribe racial/ethnic patterns of flavored tobacco use to illuminate equity implications of flavored tobacco policies.

methodsUsing data on US young adults (ages 18-34; n = 8,114) in the Population Assessment of Tobacco and Health Study Wave 5 (2018-2019) and survey-weighted logistic regression, we estimated any flavors (regular brand) and mint/menthol (vs. other flavors) use by race/ethnicity among cigarette, e-cigarette, cigar, blunt, hookah, smokeless tobacco, and any tobacco product users.

resultsAny flavored tobacco use was common and was significantly higher for Black (75.1%; OR: 1.4; 95% CI: 1.2, 1.7) and Hispanic/Latinx (77.2%; OR: 1.4; 95% CI: 1.1, 1.7) users than White users (73.5%). The most pronounced difference across products was in menthol cigarette use between Black and White smokers (OR: 4.5; 95% CI: 3.5, 5.9). Among flavored product users, mint/menthol use was significantly higher for Latinx blunt and hookah users. DISCUSSION: Racial/ethnic disparities in flavored tobacco use include and extend beyond menthol cigarettes. Comprehensive flavored tobacco restrictions that include mint/menthol and non-cigarette products will likely have more equitable impact.
