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

introductionAlthough structural discrimination against sexual and racial/ethnicity minorities is a putative risk factor for youth tobacco use, understanding health disparities in youth E-cigarette use at the intersection of sexual orientation, race, and ethnicity is still lacking. This study aims to examine the differences in E-cigarette use prevalence among U.S. youth at the intersections of sexual orientation with race and ethnicity.

methodsE-cigarette use status (never, experimental, or current use) was analyzed among 38,510 U.S. youth using a pooled data set from the Youth Risk Behavior Surveillance System 2015-2019. The weighted E-cigarette use status between youth at the intersections of sexual orientation with race and ethnicity was reported, stratified by sex. Multivariable multinomial regression adjusting for relevant covariates was further conducted. Data analyses were performed in April 2022.

resultsAfter controlling for other covariates, the RRR of current E-cigarette use compared with never use between lesbian Black girls (and heterosexual Black girls) was higher than between lesbian White girls (and heterosexual White girls) (adjusted RRR=6.99; 95% CI=2.21, 22.14). The RRR of current E-cigarette use compared with never use between lesbian other race/multiracial girls (and heterosexual other race/multi-racial girls) was higher than between lesbian White girls (and heterosexual White girls) (adjusted RRR=3.60; 95% CI=1.06, 12.26).

conclusionsThis study has shown that sexual minority Black girls were more likely to currently use E-cigarettes than heterosexual Black girls. Future studies should examine the underlying reasons for current E-cigarette use among girls with intersectional identities, including race and sexual orientation.
