Risk factors associated with subsequent initiation of cigarettes and e-cigarettes in adolescence: A structural equation modeling approach.

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
backgroundPrevious youth tobacco research has identified multiple correlated risk factors for initiation of cigarette and e-cigarette use; whether these factors are independently associated with initiation is not known, due to challenges with disentangling the independent effects of these correlated risk factors.

resultsIn fully-adjusted prospective SEM models, latent factors for cigarette susceptibility, marketing, and the social environment, along with ever e-cigarette use and ever hookah use at baseline were independently associated with cigarette initiation between baseline and follow-up (P < 0.05). Similarly, latent factors for e-cigarette susceptibility, marketing, and the social environment, along with ever hookah use at baseline were associated with e-cigarette initiation between baseline and follow-up (P < 0.05); however, cigarette use at baseline was not associated with e-cigarette initiation in SEM models (P = 0.16).
conclusionsWe identified independent effects of multiple risk factors in SEM models on initiation of cigarettes and e-cigarettes. E-cigarette use was associated with cigarette initiation, but cigarette use was not associated with e-cigarette initiation in fully adjusted models. Research to identify underlying causal mechanisms is warranted.
