Cannabis use among youth who vape nicotine E-cigarettes: A qualitative analysis.
Article in Drug and alcohol dependence, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 15 papers.
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
backgroundNicotine vaping and cannabis use are common among youth. Among youth who use e-cigarettes, little is known about how and why they use cannabis and patterns of cannabis and nicotine co-use. Given the popularity of both products among youth, the study aim is to utilize qualitative data to better understand cannabis use among youth who use e-cigarettes.
methodSix focus groups of high schoolers who reported past-month e-cigarette use (N = 50; 52% male) were conducted to inform e-cigarette cessation programming. We conducted secondary data analysis examining report of cannabis use during focus groups. Transcripts were examined for report of cannabis use, reasons for use, and nicotine and cannabis co-use.
resultsIn focus groups, cannabis was commonly discussed. Youth reported vaping cannabis, however other forms of cannabis delivery were common (e.g. blunts, joints). Themes related to reasons for simultaneous use of nicotine and cannabis were to experience stronger psychoactive effects than using either product alone and needing to use less nicotine product overall. Reasons for liking cannabis were positive psychoactive effects and stress relief. Reasons for disliking were related to health concerns. Notably, when youth reported disliking cannabis due to health concerns, a common discussion was strategies to acquire and continue cannabis use in ways that they perceived mitigated health concerns.
conclusionQualitative evidence identified associations between e-cigarette use and cannabis use among youth. Research and interventions targeting youth using e-cigarettes should consider how to address dual use of these products.
