Perceived neighborhood disadvantage and current nicotine pouch use among U.S. youth.
Article in Drug and alcohol dependence, 2026. 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
introductionNicotine pouches (NPs) are emerging nicotine products that appeal to youth due to their discreet use, tobacco-free formulation, and flavor availability. However, given their recent introduction to the market, little is known about how neighborhood environments may influence US youth NP use.
methodsWe imputed cross-sectional data from the 2023 National Youth Tobacco Survey (n = 22,069, ages 9 + years) and developed a neighborhood risk score (range: 1-4) by averaging 10 items related to neighborhood disorder, safety, and disadvantage. To estimate associations between the risk score and current (past 30-day) NP use, we fit logistic regression models adjusted for sociodemographic, school, environmental, and behavioral characteristics.
resultsThe prevalence of current NP use was 1.6% (95% CI=1.0-2.1). The mean neighborhood risk score was 1.6 (95% CI=1.6-1.7) and was higher among youth who currently used NPs (mean=2.1, 95% CI=1.8-2.3) vs. those who did not (mean=1.6, 95% CI=1.6-1.7). Adjusted results showed that for each unit increase in neighborhood disadvantage, the odds of current NP use increased by 77% (95% CI=1.08-2.91). Further, specific neighborhood items included in the risk score, such as violence and vandalism, were associated with NP use. DISCUSSION: This study found that youth living in high-risk neighborhoods had higher odds to use NPs, highlighting the influence of environmental factors on novel tobacco/nicotine use. The findings support the need for community-level prevention strategies to address youth use of emerging tobacco/nicotine products.
