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

backgroundOne of the health problems related to tobacco that is increasing in society is the consumption of naswār. This study aimed to investigate the determinants of naswār consumption from the point of view of its consumers. MATERIALS AND

methodsIn this qualitative study, 47 men with an age range of 23- 54 years who consumed naswār from the southern cities of Fars province in Iran were selected and interviewed. These participants were selected using purposive and snowball sampling methods, and data was collected using semi-structured interviews. Data analysis was done using the conventional approach of qualitative content analysis.

resultsThree main categories were extracted: (1) Individual factors and beliefs related to naswār consumption (Non-addictive, similar and replacement with smoking, Not causing confusion, Being relaxing and enjoyable, increasing the effect of using other substances, reducing fatigue, causing body aches due to lack of use, having long effect, not causing physical problems, not causing weakness, having fast effect, increasing energy to work), (2) Environmental factors (being available, Having the low price, being consumed anywhere, being easy to store and carry, Not understanding others), and (3) Social factors (as a hobby, lack of entertainment, relatives and friends of the consumer, lack of ban on the consumption of naswār, lack of family opposition).

conclusionAs the results showed, there are many reasons for consuming naswār based on individual, environmental, and social factors. Formulation of laws, health policies, and education can be effective in adopting strategies to prevent and control the consumption of naswār.
