Factors associated with considering switching to nicotine pouches among US adults who smoke.

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
Background: Oral nicotine pouches (ONPs) have gained popularity in recent years and are more popular among people who smoke. As ONPs are less harmful than cigarettes, understanding what factors are associated with considering switching to ONPs is critical. This study aims to examine the factors associated with consideration of switching from smoking to ONPs among US adults who smoke. Methods: Using data from the Wave 7 (2022-2023) of the Population Assessment of Tobacco and Health (PATH) Study (N = 6315), we analyzed a sample of adults who currently smoke. The outcome was whether participants had considered switching from smoking to nicotine pouches, and Results: Among adults who currently smoke in Wave 7 (N = 6315), 122 (weighted %=1.7) reported having considered switching from smoking to ONPs (outcome). In the adjusted model, considering switching was more likely to be associated with being male (vs. female) (aOR=2.75, 95%CI=1.44-5.24), non-Hispanic (vs. Hispanic) (aOR=3.33, 95%CI=1.27-8.70), sexual minorities (vs. heterosexual) (aOR=2.54, 95%CI=1.08-5.99), currently using nicotine pouches (vs. no) (aOR=30.50, 95%CI=13.08-71.10), and having attempted to quit cigarette smoking (vs. no) (aOR = 2.10, 95% CI = 1.14-3.89). Conclusions: This study identified factors associated with having considered switching to ONPs among U.S. adults who smoke. Policymakers and clinicians should also consider these subgroups when developing and implementing ONP-related policies and guidelines.
