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
Objective: Nicotine pouches are an emerging tobacco product available in a variety of flavors. We examined flavor preferences among adults who used nicotine pouches in the past 30 days and identified characteristics associated with flavored-only versus unflavored-only use. Methods: The 2022-23 Tobacco Use Supplement to the Current Population Survey data collected in the U.S. ( Results: Among adults who reported current nicotine pouch use, the prevalence was 81.51% for flavored-only use, 16.84% for unflavored-only use, and 1.66% for co-use. Mint was the most commonly used flavor (49.85%), followed by "other" (22.65%), menthol (7.82%), fruit (6.87%), and clove, spice, or herb (3.91%). Bivariate analysis indicated that use of flavored-only pouches was especially prevalent among 18-24 (89.93%) and 25-44 (85.73%) year-old adults, men (85.22%), non-Hispanic White (85.48%) and employed (86.10%) adults, as well as among those who formerly (88.78%), never (84.73%), or occasionally (80.74%) smoked. However, in model-assisted analysis, only sex and smoking status remained significant (p's < 0.05). Conclusions: These findings provide the first nationally representative estimates of flavored and unflavored pouch use among U.S. adults who reported current use of nicotine pouches in 2022-23. Future research should examine the role of flavored nicotine pouch use in tobacco use and cessation.
