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 how risk perceptions and social norms around e-cigarettes are associated with susceptibility (i.e., openness to using the product in the next 12 months) of e-cigarettes and smoking among adolescents.
methodsWe analyzed data from a 2016 representative survey of 8,718 middle school students in Mexico. The study sample was restricted to students who had tried neither e-cigarettes nor cigarettes, ( N = 4471). Students reported on the risks of e-cigarettes compared with those of cigarettes, and product-specific norms were measured by assessing current use by family members, at least one close friend, and, for e-cigarettes, by perceived societal acceptability of use (i.e., acceptability among people in general). Adjusted prevalence ratios (APR) were estimated using generalized estimating equation models that regressed e-cigarette societal acceptability on study variables. Adjusted generalized estimating equation models also regressed susceptibility for each product on study variables.
resultsSusceptibility to both e-cigarettes and smoking was higher among students who reported that their family and friends used only cigarettes or both products when compared with students whose family and friends did not use either of these products. Friend use of e-cigarettes was associated with e-cigarette susceptibility (APR = 1.33) but not smoking susceptibility. Students who perceived that e-cigarettes were less risky than smoking were more susceptible to e-cigarette use (APR = 1.45). The association between e-cigarette susceptibility and friend or family use was not mediated by societal acceptability.
conclusionsE-cigarette use among family and peers appears associated with susceptibility to use e-cigarettes in a way that is similar to the patterns found for cigarettes. However, the influences appear somewhat specific to the type of product that network members use.
