Electronic Cigarettes: Past, Present, and Future: What Clinicians Need to Know.
Review in Clinics in chest medicine, 2020. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 12 papers, 3 of them syntheses that pooled 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.
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
Electronic cigarettes (EC) are battery-operated devices that heat and aerosolize a liquid solution that typically contains nicotine. ECs have become commonly used among youth and may pose substantial risks of future addiction and health problems in this population. However, ECs are far less toxic per puff compared with combustible cigarettes, and as a result, might present an important harm reduction opportunity for cigarette smokers who cannot stop smoking by traditional means. The long-term health effects of ECs on individuals and the net effect on public health will remain unknown for many years.
