E-cigarette use is associated with a self-reported diagnosis of prediabetes in never cigarette smokers: Results from the behavioral risk factor surveillance system survey.

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
backgroundThe use of e-cigarettes is increasing in the US but there is still a paucity of research on the metabolic effects of e-cigarette use. The goal of this work was to determine the association between e-cigarette use and self-reported prediabetes in adult never cigarette smokers.
methodThe 2017 cross sectional Behavioral Risk Factor Surveillance System (BRFSS) survey data was used for the analysis. Current e-cigarette users reported daily or someday use of e-cigarettes and former e-cigarette users reported no current use of e-cigarettes. Participants who reported a history of diabetes, gestational prediabetes/ diabetes were excluded. Odds ratios were calculated to determine the association between e-cigarette use and self-reported prediabetes in never cigarette smokers after adjusting for potential confounders.
resultsThere were a total of 154,404 participants that met the inclusion criteria. Of those participants, there were 143,952 never, 1339 current and 7625 former e-cigarette users. Current e-cigarette users had an increased odds of reporting a diagnosis of prediabetes 1.97 (95% CI 1.25-3.10) compared to never e-cigarette users. After stratifying by gender, men and women had an increased odds ratio of reporting a diagnosis of prediabetes 2.36 (95% CI 1.26-4.40) and 1.88 (95% CI 1.00-3.53) respectively when compared to never e-cigarette users. There was no association between former e-cigarette use and a self-reported diagnosis of prediabetes.
conclusionOur findings show that e-cigarette use may be associated with self-reported prediabetes. Further evaluation is needed in prospective studies.
