1 · What the graph read from it

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.

2 · The registry

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

introductionRecently, cigarette card games have gained great popularity among Chinese schoolchildren. This study aimed to examine the associations of cigarette card game engagement with smoking susceptibility and smoking-related behaviors in students.

methodsUsing data from the Zhejiang Childhood Behavior and Health Cohort, 21526 children and adolescents aged 6-19 years were included, and relevant information on cigarette card games, smoking susceptibility, and several smoking behaviors was collected via self-reported questionnaires. Logistic regression models were used to explore the influence of cigarette card games on smoking susceptibility, as well as the smoking behaviors. Odds ratios (ORs) and their 95% confidence intervals (CIs) are reported.

resultsAmong the 21526 participants, 861 (4.00%) reported engaging in the cigarette card games within the past 7 days. Never smoking students who engaged in cigarette card games exhibited greater odds of smoking susceptibility than those who did not engage (adjusted odds ratio, AOR=2.05; 95% CI: 1.70-2.46). Similarly, increased odds of ever cigarette smoking, ever and current e-cigarette use were also observed among those participating in such games, with AORs of 3.73 (95% CI: 2.83-4.90), 3.21 (95% CI: 2.31-4.46), and 6.87 (95% CI: 4.87-9.69), respectively.

conclusionsFindings of the present study confirmed the popularity of cigarette card games among Chinese students. They indicated that engagement in these games was significantly associated with increased odds of smoking susceptibility and various smoking-related behaviors. However, given the limitations of the study, these conclusions should be interpreted with caution.
