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
backgroundAlkyl nitrites, commonly known as "poppers," have been widely used as recreational inhalants since the 1970s, particularly among men who have sex with men (MSM). Despite regulatory restrictions in the United States, poppers remain available under misleading product labels (eg, nail polish removers). Limited epidemiologic research has focused on trends in prevalence and correlates of poppers use, particularly among populations that include non-MSM individuals.
methodsWe analyzed data from a repeated cross-sectional survey of adults entering electronic dance music events at nightclubs in New York City (NYC) between 2017 and 2024 (N = 3332). We estimated trends in past-year poppers use overall and stratified by demographic and drug use-related factors in the NYC nightclub-attending population, and we also delineated correlates of use.
resultsWe estimated that past-year poppers use increased from 7.2% in 2017 to 18.1% in 2024 (a 151.4% increase;
conclusionWhile sexual minority males remain at highest risk for poppers use, prevalence is also increasing among traditional lower-risk groups, underscoring the need for expanded public health messaging and harm reduction strategies.
