Impact of electronic cigarette use and sleep duration, sleep issues and insomnia: a systematic review and meta-analysis.

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
Background: The increasing popularity of electronic cigarettes (e-cigarettes) has introduced new public health challenges and concerns. While promoted as safer alternatives to conventional tobacco and as tools for quitting smoking, e-cigarettes have raised alarm about possible long-term health consequences. This systematic review and meta-analysis sought to evaluate the association between electronic cigarette consumption and sleep disturbances. Methods: We performed comprehensive searches in EMBASE, Web of Science, and PubMed up to September 18, 2024, to locate studies examining the link between e-cigarette use and sleep duration, sleep disorders, and insomnia. A meta-analysis was conducted to calculate pooled odds ratios (ORs). The quality of the studies was evaluated using the Newcastle-Ottawa Scale. Meta-analysis was performed using R software (Version 4.3). Results: A total of 14 cross-sectional studies were included from 554 unique records screened. E-cigarette users exhibited a notably elevated risk of having shorter sleep duration compared to non-users, with a pooled odds ratio of 1.38 (95% CI: 1.24-1.55). Several studies reported that e-cigarette users also had higher odds of sleep disturbances, such as insomnia and reliance on sleep medications. Among adolescents, e-cigarette use was associated with a 33 to 61% increased risk of inadequate sleep. Conclusion: E-cigarette use may be associated with sleep disturbances, including shorter sleep duration and increased sleep difficulties. Future long term longitudinal studies are warranted for better evidence.
