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
Adolescent vaping is rapidly rising in Canada, and e-cigarettes have become the most widely used tobacco product among high school students; 29% of students in grades 10 to 12 reported e-cigarette use in 2019. Vaping among adolescents is a problem because the long-term health consequences of e-cigarettes remain unknown, large numbers of teens are becoming addicted to the harmful drug nicotine, and vaping has been shown to increase risk of initiation of combustible tobacco product use. To address the gaps in the current understanding of adolescent e-cigarette use, this study aims to examine the role of social peer and family influence, self-esteem, and stress on teen vaping. Seventy-nine students in grades 10 to 12 at an independent, co-ed high school in Toronto, Ontario completed an online survey about factors that influence them to vape, and about their perceived self-esteem and stress. Survey data was analyzed using Chi-Square tests and T-tests. Common motivations for vaping included stress relief (70%) and peer influence (60%). Family history of smoking or vaping and the ability to vape indoors also influenced vaping habits. Notably, e-cigarette users reported higher stress levels than non-users, but self-esteem levels were comparable. Our findings suggest that high school vaping prevention strategies should focus on stress reduction and encourage healthy coping strategies. Similar research studies should be conducted in other high schools, and future research should further explore the correlation between stress and adolescent vaping.
