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

introductionInformation on the use of tobacco and other illicit substances by young people is an essential element for the implementation of appropriate preventive measures.

aimTo estimate the prevalence of smoking, alcohol and drug use among high school students in the city of Gabes.

methodsCross-sectional survey carried out in 2022 in 5 schools in the city of Gabes, southern Tunisia, by a self-administered questionnaire.

resultsWe included a total of 507 students (47% male) with an average age of 15.6 years. The overall smoking prevalence was 22.1%. The respondents were daily smokers in 22.1% of cases with an average consumption of 10 cigarettes/day in 62.5% of cases. The age of onset of smoking was less than 10 years in 31.2% of cases. The prevalence of electronic cigarette use was 12%. The prevalence of chewing tobacco consumption (Neffa) was 9.1%. Seventy-four of the respondents (14.6%) used hookah. The prevalence of alcohol consumption was 5.9%. Twenty-four students (4.7%) used drugs: cannabis (87.5%) and psychotropic drugs without a medical prescription (12.5%).

conclusionThe prevalence of smoking among high school students in the city of Gabes was high. This behavior was associated with the consumption of alcohol and psychoactive substances. These results should be used to set up primary prevention programs for young people in order to minimize the scourge of tobacco and psychoactive substance use in schools.
