Substance use in Spanish adolescent gamblers before and after the COVID-19 pandemic state of alarm: a population-based study.

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
This observational study described the prevalence and associated factors of substance use (SU) among adolescent gamblers, comparing data from pre and post pandemic surveys among 7,960 adolescents between 14 and 18 years old from a Nationwide Population-Based Study (ESTUDES) conducted in Spain. The independent effect of socio-demographic characteristics, video game and internet-related variables, perceived health risks from consumption, and the perceived availability of substances on SU in adolescent gamblers were estimated. Alcohol and marijuana were the most commonly reported substances, and they were the only ones that presented a significant reduction in prevalence in 2021. Adolescent gamblers who reported having easy access to substances were more likely to consume alcohol (OR:2.92, 95%CI:1.95-4.37), marijuana (OR:5.98, 95%CI:4.72-7.57), TSSp (OR:2.12, 95%CI:1.70-2.65), cocaine (OR:5.15, 95%CI:3.81-6.98) and new substances (OR:2.25, 95%CI:1. 80-2.82). Likewise, adolescents who gambled and did not perceive health-related risk for using were more likely to consume alcohol (OR:1.52, 95%CI:1.21-1.90), marijuana (OR:3.16, 95%CI:2.64-3.77), TSSp (OR:1.84, 95%CI:1.41-2.40), cocaine (OR:5.44, 95%CI:3.57-8.28) and other substances (OR:3.20, 95%CI:2.09-4.90). Among the implications are the development of programs aimed at higher-risk consumption, the continuation and strengthening of programs to raise awareness of the risk of drug consumption, and the re-evaluation of current measures to control access to legal and illegal substances by adolescents.
