Cardiovascular disease risk perceptions and tobacco use among Appalachian youth.

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
Introduction: Cardiovascular disease (CVD) is a critical public health issue, with tobacco smoking the leading preventable cause. Perceptions of CVD risk in specific populations may differ by tobacco use status, potentially necessitating customized tobacco prevention measures. Methods: Using data from the Youth Appalachian Tobacco Study (n=1104), CVD risk perceptions were defined by responses to three statements: 'smoking causes heart disease', 'smoking causes strokes' and 'smoking causes high blood pressure'. Tobacco use status was characterized as never users, ever cigarette users, and ever non-cigarette users. Sociodemographic differences in CVD risk perceptions and tobacco use status were evaluated. Logistic regression analyses, adjusted for gender, race/ethnicity, and household tobacco use, were conducted. Results: Among the sample, 24.1% were ever cigarette users and 10.1% were ever non-cigarette users. Compared to never users, ever cigarette users had higher odds of disagreeing that smoking causes heart disease (AOR: 1.83; 95% CI: 1.23-2.73), stroke (AOR: 1.54; 95% CI: 1.08-2.18) and hypertension (AOR: 1.41; 95% CI: 1.00-1.99). White youth (vs. racial/ethnic minorities) had fewer odds of disagreeing that smoking causes hypertension (AOR: 0.44; 95% CI: 0.29-0.68), and females (vs males) had fewer odds of disagreeing that smoking causes heart disease (AOR: 0.69; 95% CI: 0.48-0.99). Conclusions: Among Appalachian youth, CVD risk perceptions differed by tobacco use status and sociodemographic groups, such as race/ethnicity and gender. Findings from this study may be helpful in development of tobacco prevention efforts, such as health messaging for Appalachian youth.
