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

objectiveWe aimed to examine the individual and combined associations of e-cigarette policies with e-cigarette use among U.S. adolescents and young adults aged 12-20 years.

methodsWe used data from Waves 7 (January 2022-April 2023) and 7.5 (April 2023-December 2023, conducted approximately one year after completion of the Wave 7 survey) of the Population Assessment of Tobacco and Health (PATH) study (

resultsFlavor bans were associated with lower odds of lifetime e-cigarette use (AOR=0.69, 95% CI=0.55, 0.85). E-cigarette-inclusive smoke-free policies had significant associations with lifetime and frequent e-cigarette use (AOR range=0.56-0.78,

conclusionsComprehensive state-level e-cigarette policies, including but not limited to flavor bans and e-cigarette-inclusive smoke-free policies, may be crucial in mitigating e-cigarette use among adolescents and young adults, thereby providing critical evidence to inform future policy initiatives in the regulatory landscape of e-cigarettes.
