Factors associated with shisha smoking: Results from a cross-sectional telephone-based survey among the general population adults in Nigeria.

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
introductionIn Nigeria, there is very limited evidence on factors that influence shisha smoking, and this hinders effective tobacco control policymaking. We, therefore, aimed to identify factors associated with shisha smoking among the general population adults in Nigeria.
methodsWe conducted a telephone-based, cross-sectional survey between 28 July and 11 September 2022 in 12 states of Nigeria. Our outcome of interest was self-reported current shisha smoking status, and the independent variables included potential behavioral, biological, mental health, environmental, and social determinants of shisha smoking. We performed logistic regression analysis, with adjusted odds ratios (AORs) and 95% confidence intervals (CIs) as the measures of association.
resultsWe surveyed 1278 individuals: 611 who currently smoked shisha and 667 who did not. The following increased the likelihood of being a person who currently smokes shisha: being a person who currently smokes cigarettes (AOR=5.54; 95% CI: 2.57-11.90) or consumes alcohol (AOR=3.46; 95% CI: 1.91-6.28); and having a family member (AOR=2.32; 95% CI: 1.23-4.40), or one (AOR=22.81; 95% CI: 9.99-52.06) or more (AOR=78.85; 95% CI: 22.50-276.33) close friends who smoke shisha. The following reduced the likelihood of being a person who currently smokes shisha: being older (AOR=0.92; 95% CI: 0.89-0.95) and screening positive for possible generalized anxiety disorder (AOR=0.60; 95% CI: 0.41-0.88). We found sex differences in the factors associated with shisha smoking, particularly on the effects of household wealth, employment status, having family members who smoke shisha, and mental health.
conclusionsStrategies to curb shisha smoking need to account for the associated biological, social and behavioral factors, including age, cigarette smoking, alcohol consumption, and having family members or close friends who smoke shisha. They should also account for sex differences, and differences that exist between shisha smoking behavior and the smoking of other tobacco products.
