Tobacco product initiation is correlated with cross-product changes in tobacco harm perception and susceptibility: Longitudinal analysis of the Population Assessment of Tobacco and Health youth cohort.

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
Youth initiation with one tobacco product is associated with risk of using additional tobacco types. How use of one product potentially encourages use of others could result from changing tobacco-related perceptions. This study aimed to evaluate how tobacco product initiation correlates with changes in susceptibility (curiosity and willingness) and perceived harm of other tobacco products. For each of cigarettes, e-cigarettes, hookah, and smokeless tobacco, youth (ages 12-16; N = 8005) rated perceived harm, curiosity, and willingness to try in Waves 1 and 2 of the Population Assessment of Tobacco and Health (United States, 2013-2015). For each product, we estimated associations between decreased harm rating, increased curiosity, or increased willingness with initiation (from never- to ever-use) of cigarettes, e-cigarettes, hookah, smokeless tobacco, or other combustible products using multivariate (multiple outcomes) regression, adjusting for other tobacco risk factors. Tobacco product initiation was associated with decreased perceived harm for that product and with decreased perceived harm, increased curiosity, and increased willingness in some, but not all, cross-product combinations. Most cross-product combinations of initiation and susceptibility yielded positive associations. For example, trying e-cigarettes was associated with concomitant increases in curiosity about cigarettes (OR: 5.69; 95% CI: 3.68, 8.79) and hookah (OR: 4.19; 95% CI: 2.55, 6.88) and with increased willingness to try cigarettes (OR: 9.61; 95% CI: 5.67, 16.3), hookah (OR: 8.46; 95% CI: 4.76, 15.0), and smokeless tobacco (OR: 3.48; 95% CI: 1.75, 6.94). New use of one tobacco product may catalyze subsequent use of others through cross-product changes in perceptions and susceptibility.
