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
Introduction: E-cigarette use is an emerging public health concern among adolescents and young adults, with limited population-based evidence on recent use and correlates in Thailand beyond school-based samples. Our study aimed to examine e-cigarette use and its associated factors among adolescents and young adults aged 15-29 years in Northern Thailand using data from a population-based household survey. Methods: We conducted a cross-sectional analysis of data from the 2024 population-based household survey on substance use in Northern Thailand. The analytic sample included 911 adolescents and young adults aged 15-29 years. Past-year e-cigarette use was the primary outcome. Explanatory variables encompassed sociodemographic characteristics, perceived accessibility, online information-seeking, perceived health harms, household stigma, and co-use of other substances. Descriptive statistics summarized prevalence, and logistic regression models estimated crude and adjusted associations, reporting odds ratios (ORs) and 95% confidence intervals (CIs). Statistical significance was defined as Results: Overall, 11.5% of participants reported past-year e-cigarette use. In adjusted analyses, higher perceived accessibility (AOR = 3.18; 95% CI: 1.31, 7.69, Conclusion: E-cigarette use among adolescents and young adults in Northern Thailand remains a public health concern shaped by accessibility, online exposure, alcohol co-use, and risk perceptions, underscoring the need for strengthened youth tobacco control, digital regulation, and integrated prevention.
