Examining tobacco consumption: prevalence and associated factors among Cambodians aged 15-49 from the 2021-2022 Demographic and Health Survey.
Observational study in BMJ open, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 papers.
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
objectivesTobacco consumption is a significant preventable cause of death worldwide. This study aimed to assess the prevalence and associated factors of tobacco consumption among Cambodian individuals aged 15-49, utilising data from the 2021-2022 Cambodia Demographic and Health Survey (CDHS).
designCross-sectional study based on secondary analysis of the 2021-2022 CDHS.
settingNationwide household survey conducted across urban and rural areas of Cambodia.
participantsA total of 28 321 respondents aged 15-49 years were included in the analysis. OUTCOME MEASURES: Tobacco consumption categorised as no use, smoking tobacco, smokeless tobacco and dual use. Descriptive statistics, χ
resultsAmong the 28 321 respondents (68.8% female), 91.8% were non-users of tobacco (reference group), while 6.9% reported smoking (predominantly males; adjusted relative risk ratios (ARRR)=39.29, 95% CI 29.70 to 51.96, p<0.001). Additionally, 0.2% used smokeless tobacco and 1.1% were dual users. Higher risks of smoking were observed among those aged 40-49 (ARRR=5.17, 95% CI 3.58 to 7.47, p<0.001) and among alcohol consumers (ARRR=1.85, 95% CI 1.57 to 2.18, p<0.001).
conclusionsWhile Cambodia has made notable progress in reducing tobacco consumption, the persistent challenges highlighted by the prevalence of smoking, particularly among specific demographics, indicate the need for targeted public health interventions.
