Exploring Nicotine Dependence Among People Using Methamphetamine During Methadone Maintenance Treatment in Vietnam.

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
Introduction: Cigarette smoking is common among individuals with substance use disorders and those undergoing addiction treatment. Cigarette use is highly comorbid with methamphetamine use, and among individuals who co-use methamphetamine and opioids, nicotine dependence may further complicate smoking cessation efforts. This study examines nicotine dependence levels and associated factors among people who use methamphetamine undergoing methadone maintenance treatment (MMT) in Vietnam. Methods: This cross-sectional analysis utilized baseline data from 667 participants enrolled in a randomized controlled trial designed to evaluate the effectiveness of various combinations of behavioral evidence-based interventions for methamphetamine use among patients on MMT in Vietnam (STAR-OM R01DA050486). Data on levels of nicotine dependence and other covariates including demographic, health status, treatment characteristics and substance use were collected. Nicotine dependence was measured using the Fagerström Test for Nicotine Dependence, with a score of 6 or higher indicating high dependence. Logistic regression estimated the association between nicotine dependence and various psychosocial and behavioral factors. Results: Overall, 96.7% of the participants were current smokers with 247 of them (38.3%) exhibiting high nicotine dependence. Greater severity of methamphetamine withdrawal symptoms (OR: 1.03; 95% CI: 1.01-1.05) and a high risk of depression, anxiety or stress (OR: 1.76; 95% CI: 1.14-2.72) were associated with increased odds of high nicotine dependence. Conversely, older age at onset of methamphetamine use was associated with lower odds of high nicotine dependence. Conclusions: Cigarette smoking was highly prevalent among individuals using methamphetamine during MMT, with many exhibiting high nicotine dependence. Providing smoking cessation support with efforts to manage methamphetamine withdrawal symptoms, could help improve cessation outcomes.
