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
introductionAdolescent tobacco use remains a significant public health issue with long-term health consequences. This study investigates the relationship between sexual minority status, school-based violence victimization, and tobacco use among adolescents. The objective is to determine the prevalence of school-based violence victimization and tobacco use behaviors and identify key demographic and experiential risk factors.
methodsData were derived from the Florida Youth Risk Behavior Survey, collected biennially from 2013 to 2021. Participants included high school students who answered demographic questions on sexual orientation, race/ethnicity, sex, and grade. Bivariate analyses and binary logistic regression models examined associations between school-based violence and tobacco use, controlling for demographic factors.
resultsOf the 26510 participants, 15.8% identified as sexual minorities. Cigarette smoking was reported by 18.0% of the sample, with a higher prevalence among sexual minority students (27.3%) and students in 12th grade (22.5%). Sexual minority students reported higher rates of school-based violence, including being bullied at school (24.4%) and electronically bullied (22.6%). Overall, 29.3% of students experienced school-based victimization. Tobacco use was significantly associated with school-based violence (AOR=2.04; 95% CI: 1.91-2.19) with higher odds for sexual minority students (AOR=1.91; 95% CI: 1.75-2.09).
conclusionsThe findings highlight a significant association between school-based violence and tobacco use among adolescents. Sexual minority students are at higher risk for both victimization and tobacco use. These results underscore the importance of violence prevention strategies and creating inclusive, supportive school environments that embrace sexual and gender diversity to mitigate these risks and promote overall student well-being.
