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

objectiveBlack individuals are disproportionately affected by tobacco-related illnesses. Although tobacco use is often initiated in adolescence and risk factors thereof originate from multiple domains of influence, investigations of tobacco use among Black adolescents seldom consider these domains simultaneously. These examinations are needed to identify the impact of co-occurring risk factors on tobacco use and inform comprehensive tobacco prevention and treatment programs. Our study sought to identify the combined influence of factors across multiple domains on tobacco use among Black adolescents.

methodParticipants were non-Hispanic Black (

resultsFour latent classes were identified. According to item response probabilities, they were named low risk (LR; 36.5%), low psychological (LP; 19.0%), high psychological (HP; 30.4%), and high social, psychological, and behavioral (HSPB; 14.1%) risk. The odds of ever and current tobacco use were highest among adolescents in the HSPB latent class compared with the other latent classes (odds ratio = 6.5 to 42.1).

conclusionsAdolescents with the highest odds of tobacco use endorse multiple risks including feeling distress, perceiving tobacco as beneficial for handling stress, and using substances, and may prioritize the management of negative emotions over perceived health consequences from tobacco use. Multilevel interventions that incorporate the development of coping strategies for effectively handling negative affect may prove highly effective in preventing tobacco use among Black adolescents.
