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
Little is known about ecstasy/MDMA use among Asian American and Pacific Islander populations. Research is important because AAPIs face unique cultural factors that may influence use. We estimated the prevalence and correlates of lifetime ecstasy/MDMA use based on a representative sample of US AAPI adults aged ≥18 from the 2015-2020 National Survey on Drug Use and Health. An estimated 5.1% of AAPI adults used ecstasy in their lifetime. Compared to males, females had higher odds of use (aOR = 1.45, 95% CI: 1.08-1.98). Compared to those aged 18-25, those aged 26-34 were at increased odds for use (aOR = 1.99, 95% CI: 1.30-3.06), while those aged ≥50 were at lower odds for use. Lifetime use of other substances including cannabis (aOR = 28.4, 95% CI: 17.1-47.2), ketamine (aOR = 10.9, 95% CI: 1.63-73.4), LSD (aOR = 3.82, 95% CI: 1.98-7.37), cocaine (aOR = 3.77, 95% CI: 2.54-5.59), psilocybin (aOR = 3.29, 95% CI: 1.75-6.16), prescription opioids (aOR = 2.43, 95% CI: 1.44-4.09), and prescription stimulants (aOR = 1.96, 95% CI: 1.29-2.99) were associated with increased odds of ecstasy/MDMA use. We estimated that over 1 in 20 AAPI adults have ever used ecstasy/MDMA. Variations by age, sex, family income, substance type, and mental health service utilization emphasize the need for targeted public health strategies.
