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

Objectives: Adolescent e-cigarette use has increased worldwide, reflecting digital exposure and shifting norms. This study aimed to identify socioeconomic and digital determinants of e-cigarette use among adolescents and to inform prevention strategies. Methods: Data were collected from April to July 2024 among 829 students aged 11 to 19 years in three schools in northern Germany. An age-adapted questionnaire co-developed with students assessed sociodemographic characteristics, parental and media influences, risk perception, and nicotine use. Descriptive statistics and logistic regression models were applied. Results: Of all participants, 37.2% had tried e-cigarettes and 6.7% reported daily use. Conclusions: Adolescent e-cigarette use is shaped by digital exposure, socioeconomic resources, and parental behavior. Prevention requires regulation of advertising, integration into school curricula, and family-based communication.
