1 · What the graph read from it

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.

2 · The registry

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

Dual-users of cigarettes and e-cigarettes are commonly treated as a single group. Our study applied a more nuanced classification of this complex behavior to examine its associations with future tobacco use behaviors using data from Waves 1 and 3 of the Population Assessment of Tobacco and Health. Dual-users at Wave 1 (n = 1,665) were categorized into 4 groups based on the frequency with which they used each product (i.e., some days, daily). Analyses identified sociodemographic correlates of group membership and the prevalence of (1) completely switching to e-cigarettes and (2) quitting both products by Wave 3. Dual-users who smoked cigarettes every day and used e-cigarettes some days (69.6%) were the majority and more likely to have lower education (p < .001). Although some day smoking and daily e-cigarette use was the least common category (5.9%), these individuals were most likely to have completely switched to e-cigarettes by Wave 3 (aOR = 6.19, 95% CI = 3.91, 9.79). Dual-users who smoked and used e-cigarettes some days were most likely to have completely quit tobacco by Wave 3 (aOR = 3.98, 95% CI = 2.93, 5.40). In general, dual-users who had higher education or income were more likely to have completely switched to e-cigarettes or quit tobacco use by Wave 3. Adults who concurrently use cigarettes and e-cigarettes exhibit considerable heterogeneity in their use of these tobacco products. Dual-users that are higher on the socioeconomic gradient are more likely to engage in plausibly less harmful dual-use behaviors, which are more strongly associated with harm reduction and cessation behaviors. Future research should consider this variation to more accurately characterize the public health impact of dual-use.
