Smoking Prevalence and Correlates among Chinese Immigrants: A Secondary Data Analysis Study.
Article in International journal of environmental research and public health, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
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
purposeThis study aimed to (1) identify the smoking prevalence among Chinese immigrants and (2) explore associations between their current smoking behaviors and demographic factors, psychological distress, and health utilization factors.
methodsInclusion criteria were applied to extract data from the 2016 California Health Interview Survey; 650 eligible Chinese immigrant respondents were included in the sample. Independent variables were extracted based on the Integrated Model of Behavioral Prediction. Descriptive analyses and logistic regression were conducted using SAS 9.4 software.
results4.23% of the surveyed Chinese immigrants were current smokers. Chinese immigrants who were 50-65 years old, male, had less than a bachelor's degree education level, and a lower income were more likely to be current smokers. Income was significantly associated with Chinese immigrants' current smoking status (
conclusionsChinese immigrants' current smoking behaviors are significantly associated with their income. Interventions targeting low-income Chinese immigrants and tobacco price policies could potentially influence Chinese immigrants' smoking behaviors. Health education about smoking cessation should focus on male Chinese immigrant smokers who are 50-65 years old and have less than a bachelor's degree education and a lower income. More research needs to be carried out to encourage Chinese immigrants to quit smoking.
