Harm Perceptions of Alternative Tobacco Products among US Adolescents.

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
objectivesIn this study, we identified groups of adolescents who share similar awareness and perceptions of harm regarding e-cigarettes, cigars, hookah, and smokeless tobacco.
methodsWe used latent class analyses (LCA) with the data from Wave 1 (2013-14) of the Population Assessment of Tobacco and Health youth and parent survey (PATH; N = 13,650) to address the research goal. Multinomial logistic regression analysis assessed the associations between identified classes with demographic characteristics and tobacco use.
resultsLCA identified 5 classes: (1) perceived harm across all alternative tobacco products (36.6%); (2) perceived harm for e-cigarettes and smokeless tobacco but never heard of cigars and hookah (48.2%); (3) never heard of alternative tobacco products (8.6%); (4) mix of no harm and harm across alternative tobacco products (5.2%); and (5) "don't know" the harm across alternative tobacco products (1.4%). Relative to the class who perceived harm across all alternative tobacco products, classes of adolescents who were unaware of the products or did not know the harms were more likely to be non-white, younger, have lower parental education, and less likely to have tried an alternative tobacco product.
conclusionsTobacco prevention should target vulnerable youth, such as adolescents who are non-white, young, and have low parental education.
