Alcohol and tobacco use among sexual and gender minority cancer survivors in relation to urbanicity/rurality.
Article in Cancer causes & control : CCC, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
purposeUnderstanding how place of residence affects cancer-related health risks is paramount to addressing health disparities in sexual and gender minority (SGM) cancer survivors. This study examined the associations between urbanicity and other social drivers of health on current tobacco and alcohol use in SGM cancer survivors.
methodsThe OUT: National Cancer Survey Study was a cross-sectional, online survey created by the National LGBT Cancer Network (NLCN) from September 2020 to March 2021, targeting U.S. adults identifying as SGM and previously diagnosed with cancer. We examined associations between self-described residential area (urban, suburban, and rural) and other social drivers of health and tobacco and alcohol use.
resultsOf n = 2,371 participants, n = 350 reported tobacco use and n = 359 reported ≥ 2 alcoholic drinks/day. The odds of consuming ≥ 2 alcoholic drinks/day were lower among those living in suburban (vs urban) areas (adjusted odds ratio [AOR] = 0.74; 95% CI: 0.56-0.96) and those reporting a disability (AOR = 0.62; 95% CI: 0.46-0.83) and were higher among Black/African American (versus White) cancer survivors (AOR = 2.36; 95% CI: 1.32-4.22). The odds of current tobacco use did not differ significantly based on place of residence, but decreased with increasing age (AOR = 0.97; 95% CI = 0.96-0.98), were lower for those with graduate school education (AOR = 0.29; 95% CI = 0.16-0.54), and health insurance (AOR = 0.30; 95% CI = 0.16-0.59), and were greater among Black/African American (versus White) (AOR = 2.55; 95% CI: 1.36-4.80) and Hispanic (versus non-Hispanic) (AOR = 1.77; 95% CI = 1.04-3.00) SGM cancer survivors.
conclusionUrbanicity/Rurality was significantly associated with alcohol use among SGM cancer survivors. Social drivers of health are crucial factors for researchers and clinicians intervening to improve the health of SGM cancer survivors.
