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

Debate has ensued over whether e-cigarettes decrease cigarette use and/or whether more stringent cigarette regulations are necessary to foster complete switching to e-cigarettes. Behavioral economic tasks can help quantify the value of tobacco products by assessing sensitivity to price on self-reported consumption. This preliminary study examined associations between demand for cigarettes and e-cigarettes and cigarette abstinence eight weeks later.

methodsAdult cigarette smokers (

resultsCPT demand was positively correlated with cigarette use and somewhat positively correlated with e-cigarette use. In contrast, ECPT demand was only positively correlated with e-cigarette use. In regression analysis, intensity and α were most associated with cigarette and e-cigarette use.

conclusionsAmong cigarette smokers instructed to switch to an e-cigarette, e-cigarette demand was related to future e-cigarette use, but cigarette demand was associated with both cigarette and e-cigarette use. Results suggest that increasing the reinforcing efficacy of e-cigarettes and/or decreasing that of cigarettes may relate to increased switching behavior.
