Patient Perception of Vaping in the Midst of the Electronic Cigarette and Vaping Product Associated Lung Injury (EVALI) Epidemic.
Article in Missouri medicine. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 5 papers.
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
purpose of studyEVALI has reached epidemic proportions. With the increasing prevalence, new information has come to light regarding the safety of electronic cigarettes. We investigate the impact of the recent EVALI epidemic on patient perception surrounding vaping.
methodsAn anonymous survey was developed to evaluate patient perception regarding vaping. The survey was administered to adult patients at various clinics at University of Missouri. A total of 287 survey responses were analyzed.
resultsIn all, 81.5% of respondents reported that e-cigarettes are unsafe, 73.2% did not feel that the absence of THC oils or vitamin E acetate made e-cigarettes safer, and 55.1% felt that e-cigarettes are less safe than traditional cigarettes. A majority (76%) felt that e-cigarettes/vaping products should be more regulated and pose a public health concern. Most surprising, 67.6% of participants answered that they knew somebody who was negatively affected by EVALI.
conclusionThe survey responses suggest that the current EVALI epidemic is changing the public's perception and the narrative surrounding safety of e-cigarettes and vaping products.
