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
Objective: Understanding tobacco product use among sexual minority youth is important due to the exposure to nicotine and toxicants, which worsens tobacco-related health disparities. We used recent US national data to characterize tobacco product use by sexual identity. Methods: Data were drawn from the 2023 National Youth Tobacco Survey (NYTS), a nationally representative survey of US middle and high school students ( Results: In 2023, there was more tobacco product use (adjusted prevalence ratio[aPR] = 2.35, 95 % CI = 1.15, 4.79) and more frequent tobacco product use among gay/lesbian (aPR = 2.89, 95 % CI = 1.42, 5.87) and asexual youths (aPR = 2.92, 95 % CI = 1.41, 6.04) (vs. heterosexual youth) in the past 30 days. Compared to heterosexual youth, gay/lesbian and asexual youth were more likely to report combustible tobacco use, while bisexual, pansexual, queer, and questioning youth were more likely to use non-combustible products, such as e-cigarettes and nicotine pouches. Conclusions: This study observed more multiple and frequent tobacco product use among US sexual minority youth than heterosexual youth. These disparities by sexual identity emphasize the need for targeted tobacco prevention and cessation programs. Public health interventions should address unique stressors and risk factors contributing to tobacco use among sexual minority youth.
