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
backgroundThis study examined the prevalence and correlates of (1) perceived social acceptability of personal vaporizer (PV)/e-cigarette use, and (2) reported vaping in public and private places, in the UK and Australia with different regulatory environments for PVs.
methodsData analyzed come from 2849 smokers and recent ex-smokers in the UK and Australia who participated in the 2014 wave of the International Tobacco Control Survey.
resultsUK respondents were more likely to think vaping is socially acceptable than Australians (56.4% vs. 27.9%; p < 0.001). Having quit smoking, observing vaping in smoke-free (SF) public places, and believing vaping is less harmful than smoking was all significantly associated with greater perceived social acceptability of vaping in both countries. However, vaping status and that of friends and family were more influential in Australia than in the UK. Vaping was reported as much more common in private, than public, settings in both countries. UK vapers were more likely to report vaping in SF public places (OR = 2.66; 95% CI = 1.5-4.7; p < 0.01) and at home (OR = 2.44; 95% CI = 1.5-3.9; p < 0.001), but not in their car when controlling for demographic factors and vaping and smoking status.
conclusionThe acceptability of vaping was greater among those who were more exposed to vaping and not just among those with some personal experience of vaping, suggesting no strong social barriers to increased use. Vaping in SF public places was less common than in homes, and both were more common in the UK than in Australia, suggesting some social constraints on use, particularly in Australia.
