Youth source of acquisition for E-Cigarettes.

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
As rates of traditional cigarette smoking have decreased among youth over the past several years, rates of e-cigarette use have increased. Little evidence exists on how youth obtain e-cigarettes. We used data from middle and high school students under the age of 18 who reported using an e-cigarette in the past 30 days from the 2017 North Carolina Youth Tobacco Survey (n = 640). We used chi-square tests and multivariable logistic regressions to examine correlates of access and place of acquisition. Over half (51.5%) of youth report acquiring e-cigarettes from a friend. Youth in 12th grade had higher odds of acquiring e-cigarettes from a vape shop (aOR: 2.54, 95% CI: 1.25, 5.15) or retail outlet (aOR: 2.40, 95% CI: 1.18, 4.90) than youth in middle school. Compared to non-Hispanic white youth, Hispanic youth had lower odds of acquiring e-cigarettes from a vape shop (aOR: 0.42, 95% CI: 0.20, 0.87). Youth living with someone who uses e-cigarettes, compared to those who did not, had higher odds of acquiring e-cigarettes from a family member (aOR: 3.95, 95% CI: 1.94, 8.05). Finally, current smokers had higher odds of acquiring e-cigarettes from a retail outlet (aOR: 3.28, 95% CI: 1.88, 5.70) and lower odds of acquiring e-cigarettes from a friend (aOR: 0.53, 95% CI: 0.36, 0.77). Youth primarily reported obtaining e-cigarettes from a friend. Living with someone who uses e-cigarettes may be a risk factor for acquiring e-cigarettes from family members. Identifying sources of e-cigarette acquisition will help inform interventions preventing youth e-cigarette access.
