Predictors of pod-type e-cigarette device use among Canadian youth and young adults.
Article in Health promotion and chronic disease prevention in Canada : research, policy and practice, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 7 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
introductionChanges to federal legislation allowed nicotine-based e-cigarettes legal entry into the Canadian market in 2018. This included pod-type e-cigarettes (pods), such as JUUL, that were later found to be associated with steeply increasing prevalence and greater frequency of e-cigarette use among US and Canadian youth. Multiple studies of risk factors of JUUL use and use initiation have been conducted among various population groups in the US, but little evidence exists pointing to similar risk factors of pod use among Canadian youth and young adults. Understanding these risk factors can inform use prevention and intervention strategies in Canadian and other jurisdictions.
methodsA total of 668 Canadian youth and young adults recruited by the 2018-19 Youth and Young Adult Panel Study were provided a baseline survey 3 months before and a follow-up survey 9 months after the relaxation of federal nicotine e-cigarette regulations. We used multivariable logistic regression to understand and rank importance of baseline predictors of future pod use among respondents.
resultsPast-month cannabis use (OR [odds ratio] = 2.66, 95% CI: 1.66-4.21, p < 0.001), established cigarette use (OR = 3.42, 1.53-7.65, p < 0.01), past cigarette experimentation (OR = 2.40, 1.34-4.31, p < 0.01), having many friends who vaped (OR = 2.15, 1.37-3.34, p < 0.001), age below 18 compared to age over 22 (OR = 5.26, 2.63-10.00, p < 0.001) and male sex (OR = 1.69, 1.16-2.50, p < 0.01) were significant and the most influential predictors of future pod use.
conclusionSimilar factors drove pod use among Canadian and US youth and young adults. Appropriate preventive strategies can benefit from considering polysubstance use among high school-aged youth.
