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
aimThis study was conducted to determine the smoking and vaping profiles of healthcare workers and their knowledge, attitudes, and behaviors regarding vaping.
methodsThe sample of this cross-sectional study consisted of 350 healthcare workers, including physicians, nurses, and midwives, working in public hospitals in a province between April 2024 and June 2024. Data were collected using the Personal Information Form and the Fagerstrom Test for Nicotine Dependence.
resultsIt was determined that 4.6% of the participants both smoked and vaped. More than half of the participants thought that vaping did not have an effect on smoking cessation, and it could lead individuals who never smoked to take up smoking. The smoking rates of the participants who vaped were significantly higher than those who did not vape.
conclusionIt was concluded that healthcare professionals' perceptions of the harmful effects of electronic cigarettes on health are at a good level; however, despite this good perception of harm, their smoking and vaping rates were similar to those of the general public.
