Smoking cessation among sexual minority women: Differences in cigarette quit ratios across age, race/ethnicity, and sexual orientation.
Article in Preventive medicine, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 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
objectiveSexual minority (SM) women experience tobacco-related disparities and report a higher prevalence of cigarette use, as well as subgroup differences in use, but little is known about their quitting behavior. This study used data from a national sample of United States SM women to examine cigarette quit ratios overall and by age, race/ethnicity, and sexual orientation.
methodsUsing baseline survey data from the Generations Study (2016-2017, N = 812), we calculated quit ratios among SM women reporting lifetime smoking (100+ cigarettes) who reported currently smoking "not at all" relative to those reporting smoking "every day or some days." Quitting was compared across cohort, race/ethnicity, and sexual orientation, controlling for household income.
resultsSM women reporting lifetime smoking in the older cohort were significantly more likely to report quitting than those in the younger cohort. Bisexual women also reported a greater likelihood of quitting than gay/lesbian women. There was no association between race/ethnicity and the probability of quitting smoking.
conclusionsSM women remain a priority for tobacco prevention and cessation efforts. There is evidence that the probability of quitting cigarettes differs across sexual orientation and age cohorts, which has implications for tailoring of interventions and tobacco communications.
