Prevalence and correlates of current smoking among deaf, deafblind, and hard of hearing individuals.
Article in American journal of preventive medicine, 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
introductionThis study assessed the prevalence and correlates of current smoking among deaf, deafblind, and hard of hearing (DDBHH) individuals.
methodsIn 2023, DDBHH individuals were recruited from the Wilmot catchment area, located in Western and Central New York State. Participants completed a survey available in English and American Sign Language (ASL). The survey collected sociodemographic, health, and smoking-related information. Differences between participants who smoked and those who did not smoke were assessed using chi-square and Fisher's exact test for categorical variables, and Mann-Whitney U-test for continuous variables. Significant associations with current cigarette smoking (p<0.05) were tested in an unadjusted logistic regression model, followed by a logistic regression model adjusted for all significant associations.
resultsThe prevalence of current smoking was 26.3% (80/304). In an unadjusted logistic regression model, current smoking was associated with younger age, Hispanic/Latino ethnicity, use of ASL, and use of ProTactile ASL (all p's < 0.05). After controlling for all significant covariates, younger age (AOR=0.97, 95% CI 0.94-0.99), self-identifying as non-Hispanic/non-Latino (AOR=0.43, 95% CI 0.23-0.80), and use of ASL (AOR=2.19, 1.19-4.01) were significantly and independently associated with current smoking.
conclusionAmong DDBHH individuals, current smoking was more than double the rate observed in the general population. Current smoking was associated with younger age, Hispanic/Latino ethnicity, and use of ASL. These findings underscore the urgent need for tailored smoking prevention and cessation interventions among DDBHH individuals.
