Puffing topography and physiological responses in men and women with low versus high waterpipe dependence during smoking: The WiHi Irbid project.

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
backgroundWaterpipe smoking is spreading worldwide, and it is associated with many adverse effects. The aim of this study was to investigate the interaction of waterpipe smoking puffing topography, and related physiological measures, with both gender and level of dependence on waterpipe.
methodExclusive waterpipe smokers were asked to smoke a single waterpipe session in a specialized laboratory while their smoking topography, and in-breath CO level were recorded pre- and post- smoking. Waterpipe dependence was measured using the LWDS-11 scale.
resultsIn the high dependence group, the total number of puffs, was greater in men than women. In addition, the average flow rate was greater in men with high compared to low dependence. For inter-puffing intervals, greater values were recorded in men and women with low versus high dependence. No other differences were found between the subgroups in total session time, average puff duration, average puff volume, and maximum flow rate. Pre-smoking CO content and CO boost were greater in men versus women in both dependence groups. Post-smoking CO content was greater in women with high versus low dependence, whereas it was lower in women versus men with low dependence.
conclusionsThe current results indicate several effects for waterpipe smoking dependence on smoking topography. Many of these differences were gender dependent with men having higher exposure than women in most aspects.
