Reductions in smoking progression from 10th to 12th grade across 5 cohorts in Southern California 1995-2014.
Article in Tobacco induced diseases, 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
introductionWhile initiation of adolescent cigarette smoking has declined in the last two decades, changes to smoking progression have not been examined.
methodsSurvey data were from five cohorts of youth in Southern California (grade 12 in 1995, 1998, 2001, 2004, or 2014; n=2346). Among those who had smoked a cigarette by grade 10 (n=418), we modeled self-reported past-month, past-year, and lifetime number of cigarettes smoked in grade 12 as a function of grade 10 number of cigarettes and cohort (1995, 1998, 2001, 2004 vs 2014).
resultsSmoking progression declined markedly over time. Among youth who had smoked by grade 10, the 1995 cohort smoked on average 23 times as many lifetime cigarettes by grade 12 as the 2014 cohort (adjusted rate ratio, ARR=22.9; 95% CI: 9.40-55.6). Similar findings were observed for the past year (ARR=30.1; 95% CI: 6.75-134) and the past month (ARR=12.1; 95% CI: 2.19-67.0) number of cigarettes smoked. Over time, females smoked less, but the pattern of decreasing progression in lifetime cigarettes smoked was more pronounced for females than males (lifetime, p for interaction <0.0001).
conclusionsThe rate of progression among those initiating cigarette smoking in early high school decreased markedly over the two-decade period starting in 1995, suggesting that social or environmental factors may play a substantial role in the escalation of smoking through adolescence.
