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

Background: The rising use of nicotine pouches has emerged as a public health concern. Increasing use might be driven by exposure to marketing (e.g., discounts, coupons) but little is known about marketing and nicotine pouch use. This study is the first to use United States (US) nationally representative data to examine the relationship between exposure to discounts and coupons for nicotine pouches and nicotine pouch use among US adults. Methods: Using respondents from the Population Assessment of Tobacco and Health (PATH) Study Wave 7 (2022-2023) dataset (N = 27,712), we examined the association between past 12-month exposure to nicotine pouch discounts/coupons and past-30-day nicotine pouch use, adjusting for sociodemographic, psychological, and behavioral covariates. Results: Among respondents, 0.3 % (weighted) reported past-12-month receipt of discounts or coupons for nicotine pouches, and 0.8 % reported past-30-day use of nicotine pouches, with a significant bivariate association (p < 0.001). After controlling for covariates, individuals exposed to discounts or coupons for nicotine pouches during the past 12 months were more likely to report past-30-day use of nicotine pouches (adjusted odds ratio=33.85, 95 % confidence interval=19.13, 59.92). Conclusions: Exposure to discounts/coupons for nicotine pouches was associated with an increased risk of product use in the past 30 days among US adults. Continual surveillance of tobacco marketing strategies and sustained research efforts are necessary to inform tobacco control efforts and cessation strategies related to nicotine pouches.
