Cross-sectional Patterns and Longitudinal Transitions of Premium and Non-Premium Cigar Use in the United States.
Article in Nicotine & tobacco research : official journal of the Society for Research on Nicotine and Tobacco, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 9 papers.
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
introductionCigar use is common in the United States; however, knowledge about trends and longitudinal patterns of premium and non-premium cigar use is limited. We analyzed cross-sectional and transition patterns of cigar use in the United States by cigar type, age, race/ethnicity, and socioeconomic status. AIMS AND
methodsUsing data from the Population Assessment of Tobacco and Health (PATH) Study, we compared characteristics of cigar users by Wave (1-5) and type; premium versus non-premium traditional cigars, cigarillos, and filtered cigars. We then calculated longitudinal transition rates of cigar and cigarette use between PATH Study Waves and longitudinal trajectories across all five Waves.
resultsPremium cigars were predominantly used by males, non-Hispanic White individuals, and those with high educational attainment. Premium cigar use was mostly non-daily and less likely to be dual with cigarettes or other cigar types. About three-quarters of exclusive premium cigar users remained so after one year. However, dual-use of premium cigars with either other cigar types or cigarettes was transient. Those who smoked premium cigars fairly regularly for at least one year were more likely to be exclusive premium cigar users or have dropped combustible tobacco product use by Wave 5.
conclusionsCigar use patterns vary significantly by cigar type. Premium cigar users have distinctive characteristics compared to other cigar-type users. When studying cigar use and related health outcomes, it is critical to distinguish cigar type. IMPLICATIONS: Continuous monitoring of longitudinal use patterns of premium and non-premium cigar use and their co-use and transitions to other tobacco products, including inhalation and a more precise measure of the intensity of use, is essential for a better assessment of their health implications.
