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

In the context of growing stimulant use among other vulnerable rural populations, this study examines the prevalence and patterns of stimulant use, particularly methamphetamine and cocaine use, among migrant and seasonal agricultural workers. Surveys were conducted with fifty-five male agricultural workers in tobacco cultivation in Eastern North Carolina. Findings demonstrated high levels of commercial energy drink consumption (29% of participants) and limited consumption of illicit stimulants (4% of participants). Despite low reported prevalence, 18% of participants reported concern regarding illicit stimulant use. These findings underscore the need for more research to address the unique challenges faced by migrant and seasonal agricultural workers regarding substance use. This study contributes to the growing body of literature on occupational health disparities and highlights the urgent need for comprehensive strategies to support this vulnerable patient population.
