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
purposeUsing cross-sectional data, we measured the association between electronic cigarette (e-cigarette) use and subsequent initiation and sustained use of cigarettes among U.S. youth.
methodsData were pooled from the 2015-2017 National Youth Tobacco Survey, a school-based survey of U.S. students in grades 6-12. Questions on current age and age of first use of different tobacco products (cigarettes, e-cigarettes, cigars, and smokeless tobacco) were used to ascertain the temporal sequence of tobacco product use. The pooled study population was 52,579 youth who 5 years before the survey had never smoked cigarettes. E-cigarette users were defined as those who used e-cigarettes before or without ever smoking cigarettes. Cigarette smoking was assessed with the following measures: ever smoking a cigarette at any time within the past 5 years and sustained smoking (smoked ≥1 year ago and within past 30 days). Adjusted odds ratios (AORs) were calculated, controlling for other tobacco product use and sociodemographics.
resultsAmong never cigarette smokers as of 5 years before the survey, 17.4% used e-cigarettes, and 15.6% first smoked within the past 5 years. Compared with those who did not use e-cigarettes, those who used e-cigarettes had higher odds of ever smoking cigarettes within the past 5 years (AOR = 2.73) and had higher odds of sustained smoking (AOR = 1.55; all p < .05).
conclusionsE-cigarette use is associated with subsequent initiation and sustained use of cigarettes among youth. Efforts are warranted to reduce youth use of all tobacco products, including e-cigarettes.
