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

To better understand the impact of sexual orientation and gender identity (SOGI) measurement choices on estimates of hazardous health behaviors, we examined the impact of SOGI measurement choices on estimates of relighting, as an example hazardous health behavior. We embedded a 2×2×2 factorial experiment within a convenience sample of US adults ages 18-45 who smoke daily or some days (N=271) and a nationally representative sample of US adults ages 21+ who smoke regularly (20+ days per month and in past week; N=2020) to test three aspects of SOGI measurement: order of gender identity questions, wording of the heterosexual response option when assessing sexual orientation, and order of sexual orientation identity response options. We compared relighting prevalence among individuals classified as being a sexual or gender minority (SGM) across survey conditions. There were large statistically significant differences in relighting behavior by condition, but only in the convenience sample: prevalence was higher if gender identity was assessed by asking gender before sex (95.0% vs 66.7%, p=.029) and if ordering the sexual orientation response options by population prevalence (95.0% vs 66.7%, p=.029). SOGI measurement choices may impact estimates of cigarette relighting, but larger studies are needed to further evaluate this phenomenon.
