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

To determine if decreasing lifetime use of methamphetamines, cocaine, ecstasy, and inhalants among high school students occurring from 2009 to 2019 in the U.S. also occurred in five southeastern states, Youth Risk Behavior Survey data representative of high school students in grades 9-12 in 2009 and 2019 were analyzed. In a classroom setting, lifetime use of methamphetamines, cocaine, ecstasy, and inhalants were self-reported. Students nationwide (n = 30,087) were compared to students in Alabama, Georgia, Louisiana, Mississippi, and South Carolina (n = 18,237). Lifetime methamphetamine use significantly increased from 4.8% in 2009 to 6.2% in 2019 in the southeast but decreased from 4.1 to 2.2% nationwide. Use of cocaine, ecstasy, and inhalants remained stable in the southeast while decreasing significantly nationwide from 2009 to 2019. During a period when use of methamphetamines, cocaine, ecstasy, and inhalants among high school students in the U.S. decreased, use in southeastern states did not change. Culturally specific programs and interventions may be needed to prevent illicit drug use in communities of southeastern states where youth remain at risk.
