Waterpipe Tobacco (Hookah) Use in Pregnancy: Associations with Nausea and Vomiting of Pregnancy.
Article in American journal of perinatology, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
objectiveWaterpipe tobacco (WPT) use is common among reproductive age patients and is often perceived as safer than cigarette use. Prior studies have shown a decrease in nausea and vomiting symptoms among pregnant women who use cigarettes, but no studies to date have examined these symptoms in pregnant women who use WPT. This study was aimed to investigate the extent of symptoms of nausea/vomiting of pregnancy among participants who self-reported WPT use during pregnancy. STUDY
designSecondary analysis of a prospective cohort study examining WPT use during pregnancy. Participants completed the Pregnancy-Unique Quantification of Emesis (PUQE) during first and third trimesters. Medical conditions were determined by medical record review. Participants were evaluated by sole WPT use versus dual/polysubstance WPT use and frequency of WPT use.
resultsNinety-nine (100%) participants completed the PUQE questionnaire during first trimester and 82 (82.8%) completed the PUQE during third trimester. Almost all (91.9%) participants reported moderate nausea/vomiting symptoms at both assessments. There was no difference in frequency of WPT use in pregnancy or rates of dual/polysubstance WPT use in participants with all levels of the PUQE questionnaire. There was also no difference in rates of WPT use or PUQE scores between sole WPT users and dual/polysubstance users. When comparing low and high WPT use, those who were in the higher frequency use group had higher waterpipe dependence scale scores (7.2 vs. 5.3,
conclusionThere were no differences in symptoms of nausea and vomiting of pregnancy or medical conditions in pregnant women who use WPT with any frequency during pregnancy. However, sole WPT users had higher rates of asthma than dual/polysubstance WPT users. KEY POINTS: · Waterpipe tobacco use is one of the most common forms of tobacco use among reproductive age patients.. · Waterpipe tobacco use was not associated with any changes in nausea/vomiting of pregnancy symptoms.. · Future research on the use of waterpipe tobacco in pregnancy can aid in public health responses..
