E-Cigarette Use, Polytobacco Use, and Longitudinal Changes in Tobacco and Substance Use Disorder Symptoms Among U.S. Adolescents.
Article in The Journal of adolescent health : official publication of the Society for Adolescent Medicine, 2020. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 15 papers.
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
purposeThe objective of this study was to examine the combinations of e-cigarette use, cigarette use, and other tobacco use over time and the relationship these longitudinal use patterns have with symptoms of tobacco use disorder (TUD) and substance use disorders (SUDs) among a sample of adolescents.
methodsData from U.S. adolescents (aged 12-17 years) who were surveyed for the Population Assessment of Tobacco and Health Study at baseline, first follow-up, and second follow-up (2013-2014, 2014-2015, and 2015-2016; n = 7,595) was used to analyze symptoms of TUD and SUDs based on longitudinal combinations of tobacco/nicotine use.
resultsThe most common combination of tobacco/nicotine use across the three waves was "no use of any tobacco/nicotine products" at baseline and first follow-up to "e-cigarette use only" at the second follow-up. Multivariable analyses found that past 30-day cigarette use and other tobacco use at the most recent follow-up was associated with an increase in both current TUD and SUD symptoms, whereas past 30-day e-cigarette use at the most recent follow-up was modestly associated with an increase in current SUD symptoms.
conclusionsIndividuals who transitioned to e-cigarette use were at relatively low risk for increased TUD and SUD symptoms. However, individuals who transitioned or continually used cigarettes were typically at greater risk for indicating more TUD and SUD symptoms. Given the low risk of e-cigarette only users to indicate TUD and SUD symptoms, prevention efforts need to be made to target these youth before they transition to cigarettes and other types of tobacco use.
