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
introductionThe COVID-19 pandemic triggered transformations in the population's lifestyles, including electronic nicotine delivery system (ENDS) consumption. The aim of the study was to determine associations between ENDS consumption habits and lifestyles among higher education students in Bogotá, Colombia.
methodsThis study employed a cross-sectional analytical design, based on a self-administered online survey, conducted in 2021, among students aged 18-59 years. The sample size was 3985 students. Statistical analysis was done through frequency studies, hypothesis testing and a multivariate-penalized logistic regression model (
resultsA total of 3573 students completed the survey, 61.5% were female, 55.3% were young (aged 18-26 years), and 44.6% were adults (aged 27-59 years). The prevalence of ENDS use during the pandemic was 7.3%. Age was negatively associated with ENDS use, as young people had a higher likelihood of using these devices. The likelihood of ENDS use was negative among females (OR=0.38; 95% CI: 0.2-0.5). In contrast, it was positive in students with a history of psychoactive substance abuse and/or dependence (OR=3.59; 95% CI: 1.0-12.0), students who had tried conventional cigarettes (OR=5.12; 95% CI: 3.0-8.5), participants who smoked tobacco during the pandemic (OR=3.15; 95% CI: 2.3-4.2), those who studied virtually (OR=1.52; 95% CI: 1.0-2.3), participants who lived with other ENDS users (OR=3.86; 95% CI: 2.8-5.2) and students with negative perception of impacts on their mental health (OR=1.48; 95% CI: 1.1-1.9).
conclusionsBeing male, aged <26 years, having a history of substance use, having tried conventional cigarettes, pandemic tobacco use, and having lived with other ENDS users, were the main factors associated with pandemic ENDS use. Studying the consumption habits of students in response to lifestyle changes, is fundamental for the formulation of strategies to reduce the development of addictive behaviors, especially in young students during the pandemic.
