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
backgroundPregnancy is a critical window for tobacco cessation; socio-demographic correlates and prenatal care (PNC) utilization behaviors associated with quitting e-cigarette and dual use with conventional cigarettes remain understudied.
objectiveTo examine the influence of socio-demographic characteristics and PNC utilization in the cessation of cigarette, e-cigarette, and dual-use during pregnancy, using Pregnancy Risk Assessment Monitoring System (2016-2022) data.
methodsWe analyzed data from 223,793 respondents (weighted count = 11,475,844) with singleton births who reported cigarette and/or e-cigarette use during the three months before and the last three months of pregnancy. Socio-demographic and PNC cessation correlates for cigarette, e-cigarette, and dual-use were examined versus continuation using logistic regression analysis. The Adequacy of Prenatal Care Utilization (APNCU) Index assessed PNC. Associations were expressed as adjusted odds ratios with 95% confidence intervals [AOR (95%CIs)].
resultsTobacco product use declined from 16.9% pre-pregnancy to 7.5% by late pregnancy. Pregnancy-associated cessation rates were 53.7% for cigarettes, 81.0% for e-cigarettes, and 48.1% for dual-use. Primiparity was associated with higher odds of quitting across all groups: cigarettes [1.8 (1.6‒2.0)], e-cigarettes [1.6 (1.2‒2.1)], and dual-use [2.3 (95% CI: 1.7‒3.1)]. Black race and Hispanic ethnicity were positively associated with cessation of cigarettes and dual-use, while Black race was also associated with higher odds of EC cessation. A higher smoking frequency was associated with reduced cessation odds of cigarette [0.2 (0.2‒0.3)] and dual-use [0.3 (0.2‒0.4)], while a higher vaping frequency was associated with reduced e-cigarette cessation [0.3 (0.2‒0.5)]. Inadequate APNCU Index was associated with lower odds of quitting cigarettes [0.6 (0.5‒0.7)] and dual-use [0.6 (0.4‒0.9)], but showed no significant association with e-cigarette cessation [0.9 (0.6‒1.5)].
conclusionsDistinct socio-demographic and PNC factors influence cessation patterns by product type. Findings underscore potential opportunities to integrate PNC with targeted cessation support, particularly for high-risk groups amid rising e-cigarette and dual use during pregnancy.
