State-specific prevalence of current e-cigarette use by disability status and disability type-United States, BRFSS 2016-2018.
Article in Disability and health journal, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 8 papers, 1 of them a synthesis 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
backgroundCigarette smoking is the leading cause of preventable disease and death in the United States. The tobacco product landscape has diversified to include electronic cigarettes (e-cigarettes). Adults with disabilities are more likely than adults without disabilities to smoke cigarettes, but within the current body of literature, there is limited information on the use of e-cigarettes among adults with disabilities.
objectiveTo assess overall and state-specific prevalence of current e-cigarette use among adults by disability status, disability type, sex, and age.
methodsDisability was defined as having serious difficulty with vision, hearing, mobility, cognition, or any difficulty with self-care or independent living. The Behavioral Risk Factor Surveillance System cross-sectional survey data (2016-2018; n = 1,150,775) were used to estimate state and District of Columbia prevalence of current e-cigarette use among adults (aged ≥18 years) with and without disabilities, overall and by disability type, sex, and age group.
resultsMedian prevalence of current e-cigarette use was higher among adults with than without disabilities (6.5% vs. 4.3%, P < 0.05). Among adults with disabilities, use varied from 2.5% in DC to 10.0% in Colorado; median use was highest among those with cognitive disabilities (10.0%) and those aged 18-24 years (18.7%).
conclusionsPrevalence of current e-cigarette use was higher among adults with than without disabilities and varied across states by disability status, type, and age group. The findings underscore the need to monitor e-cigarette use among adults with disabilities and specifically include them in tobacco control policies and programs addressing e-cigarette use.
