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

purposePrior studies established significant associations between e-cigarette use and combustible cigarette smoking in the general population; however, little is known about such associations among cancer survivors. Thus, the current study examined possible associations between e-cigarette use and combustible cigarette smoking among U.S. cancer survivors.

methodsCross-sectional data were drawn from the 2016 Behavioral Risk Factor Surveillance System Survey. Binary logistic regression was used to analyze the associations between e-cigarette user status and combustible cigarette-smoking status in a sample of 4680 cancer survivors, controlling for alcohol use and sociodemographic factors. Analyses were weighted for unequal probability of sample selection to reflect national cancer survivor population estimates.

resultsPrevalence for current e-cigarette use and combustible cigarette smoking for cancer survivors was 2.57% and 16.16%, respectively. In the adjusted analyses, cancer survivors who reported current e-cigarette use, compared to never-users, had greater odds of being current combustible cigarette smokers (odds ratio [OR] = 11.81, 95% confidence interval [CI] = 5.38-25.93). Likewise, former e-cigarette users, compared to never-users, had greater odds of being current combustible cigarette smokers (OR = 15.90, 95% CI = 10.68-23.36).

conclusionAmong cancer survivors in the USA, e-cigarette use had a positive and highly significant association with combustible cigarette smoking. IMPLICATIONS FOR CANCER SURVIVORS: In order to prevent multiple and substitute use of nicotine-delivery products, prevention interventions and cessation programs designed for cancer survivors should specifically target both current combustible cigarette smokers and non-smokers who report former and current e-cigarette use.
