Short sleep duration and smoking initiation in university students: a retrospective cohort study.
Article in Sleep & breathing = Schlaf & Atmung, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 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
purposeThe aim of this study was to clarify an association between short sleep duration and smoking initiation.
methodsParticipants eligible for this retrospective cohort study were university students who were admitted to a single national university in Japan between 2007 and 2015. Baseline sleep duration and smoking status were measured using general questionnaires at health checkups at admission. During a 6-year observation period, smoking initiation was assessed using general questionnaires at annual health checkups. Cox proportional hazards models adjusted for clinically relevant factors were used to assess the association between sleep duration and smoking initiation.
resultsOf 17,493 men, including 540, 5,568, 8,458, 2,507, and 420 men with sleep duration of < 5, 5-6, 6-7, 7-8, and ≥ 8 h, respectively, smoking initiation was observed in 16.1%, 12.5%, 11.2%, 10.0%, and 11.7%, respectively, during a median observation period of 3.0 years. Men with shorter sleep duration were at a higher risk of smoking initiation (adjusted hazard ratio 1.49 [95% confidence interval 1.19-1.85], 1.11 [1.01-1.22], 1.00 [reference], 0.92 [0.80-1.06], and 1.00 [0.75-1.34], respectively). Of 8,880 women, including 267, 3,163, 4,220, and 1,230 women with sleep duration of < 5, 5-6, 6-7, and ≥ 7 h, respectively, smoking initiation was observed in 4.9%, 2.3%, 2.0%, and 2.2%, respectively, during a median observation period of 3.0 years. A similar dose dependent association was ascertained in women (2.50 [1.39-4.49], 1.18 [0.86-1.62], 1.00 [reference], and 1.22 [0.79-1.89], respectively).
conclusionThis study clarified that university students with short sleep duration were vulnerable to smoking initiation.
