Predictors of E-Cigarette Quit Attempts and Cessation in Young Adults.
Article in Pediatrics, 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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/
objectivesYoung adults, aged 18 to 24 years old, vape more than any other age group. Vaping is concerning due to health harms associated with nicotine and toxicant inhalation and potential for use to lead to smoking. Evidence on vaping cessation is limited. Using data from Wave 6 (2021) and Wave 7 (2022-2023) of the Population Assessment of Tobacco and Health Study, we examined factors associated with a vaping quit attempt and cessation.
methodsParticipants were included if they were 18 to 24 years old, vaped regularly in 2021, and had a follow-up in 2022 to 2023. Numerous variables were assessed for an association with a vaping quit attempt or cessation.
resultsIn 2022 to 2023, 62.4% of young adults who vaped made a quit attempt and 18.6% quit. Making a quit attempt was associated with higher harm perceptions of e-cigarettes (odds ratio, 1.44; 95% CI, 1.13-1.84) and nicotine (odds ratio, 1.35; 95% CI, 1.11-1.64) and close family and friend disapproval (odds ratio, 2.53; 95% CI, 1.87-3.43). Dual use was associated with lower odds of a quit attempt (odds ratio, 0.58; 95% CI, 0.38-0.90). Vaping cessation was less likely in individuals with daily use (odds ratio, 0.45; 95% CI, 0.30-0.69) and in-home e-cigarette allowance (odds ratio, 0.58; 95% CI, 0.37-0.91). Use of quit methods was low, and cigarette substitution was the only method positively associated with vaping cessation (odds ratio, 2.61; 95% CI, 1.15-5.95).
conclusionsAlmost two-thirds of young adults tried to quit vaping, and concerningly, the only method associated with cessation was substituting combustible cigarettes. There is an urgent need to develop safe and effective vaping cessation treatments for young adults.
