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
objectiveE-cigarette use is associated with increased risk of negative health outcomes, including respiratory problems such as Coronavirus Disease 2019 (COVID-19). Nevertheless, adolescents and young adults (AYAs) continue to use e-cigarettes at alarming rates. We examined AYA's perceptions of the health harms of e-cigarettes in relation to respiratory problems and the associations between these perceptions and e-cigarette use.
methodIn May 2020, we conducted an online, national cross-sectional survey of AYAs aged 13 to 24 years old (
resultsIn comparisons between AYAs with different levels of e-cigarette use, e-cigarette-related health risk perceptions were lower among ever-users compared to never-users and among ever-users who used e-cigarettes in the past 30 days compared to ever-users who did not use in the past 30 days. After controlling for demographics, AYAs were less likely to have used in the past 30 days if they agreed that young people are at risk of respiratory problems due to e-cigarette use (adjusted Odds Ratio [a
conclusionsAmong AYAs who had ever used e-cigarettes, those who did not believe that e-cigarette use increases the risks of respiratory problems were more likely to have used e-cigarettes in the past month. To bridge the gap between youth perceptions and emerging scientific evidence on e-cigarette-related health risks, prevention messaging should seek to explain how e-cigarette use is linked to respiratory problems and could affect COVID-19 outcomes.
