Alcohol dependence and consumption status are related to smoking status: A cross-sectional study of data from the Japan Society and New Tobacco Internet Survey 2023.

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
introductionA significant association has been established between tobacco-smoking and alcohol consumption. However, few studies have investigated this association according to tobacco product type. This study aimed to investigate alcohol dependence according to smoking status.
methodsThe analysis targeted 31465 participants of the Japan Society and New Tobacco Internet Survey 2023, including 19927 never smokers (63.3%), 6545 ex-smokers (20.8%), 2461 cigarette smokers (7.8%), 1496 heated tobacco product (HTP) smokers (4.8%), and 1036 dual smokers (3.3%). Participant characteristics, including sex, age, and body mass index (BMI), were recorded. Alcohol-dependence status was defined as an alcohol use disorders identification test (AUDIT) score of >13. The Tobacco Dependence Screener (TDS) test was conducted to assess nicotine dependence.
resultsParticipants had a median age 47 years (interquartile range, IQR: 33-62) and a median BMI of 21.6 kg/m
conclusionsSmoking status is significantly associated with alcohol consumption status.
