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

backgroundElectronic nicotine delivery systems (ENDS) differ from combustible cigarettes given that nicotine-salt or nicotine-freebase may be used depending on the product. We have investigated how nicotine-salt and freebase formulations alter e-Vape® self-administration (EVSA) behavior and plasma cotinine levels in male and female mice.

methodsAdult C57/BL6 J mice were used in EVSA and assigned vaping e-liquids (50:50 PGVG, 6 mg/mL nicotine-freebase, or 6 mg/mL nicotine-salt). Mice were escalated on a fixed ratio 1 (FR1) schedule in daily 2 h sessions and then transitioned to a FR3 to examine reinforcement-related behaviors.

resultsHere we observed that mice assigned nicotine-salt exhibited increased EVSA on a FR3 schedule compared to nicotine-freebase. Additionally, mice assigned nicotine-salt exhibited higher plasma cotinine concentrations following delivery-controlled passive-inhalation sessions.

conclusionsThese data provide evidence nicotine-salt formulations may contribute to greater reinforcement-related behavior and highlight the need for further investigations regarding nicotine formulation in ENDS.
