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

objectiveSystemic inequities are associated with stressor experiences of racial and ethnic minoritized individuals and disparities in health and substance use. Recently, young adults (YAs) have experienced pandemic-related stressors, but the differences in exposure and their long-term implications for substance use are not well understood. We examined associations of pandemic-related stressors with alcohol, cannabis, and nicotine use among non-Latinx (NL) Asian, Latinx, and NL White YAs in the context where the use of these substances is legal for those 21 and older.

methodWe used data from a statewide longitudinal (2019-2022) sample of YAs in Washington State (

resultsLatinx YAs experienced more pandemic-related stressors than NL White YAs. Across 2020-2022 and adjusting for use in 2019, Latinx YAs reported more cannabis use days, and NL Asian YAs reported fewer cannabis and alcohol use days, than NL White YAs. Stressors were positively and significantly associated with cannabis, cigarette, and e-cigarette use in 2020-2022 but were not strongly associated with alcohol use. Associations between substance use and stressors were similar across groups.

conclusionsPandemic-related stressors may have long-term implications for YAs' substance use, and these stressors are an area of emphasis for preventive interventions.
