The association between dual use of electronic nicotine products and illicit drugs with adverse cardiovascular and respiratory outcomes in a longitudinal analysis using the Population Assessment of Tobacco and Health (PATH) survey.
Article in Drug and alcohol dependence reports, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 6 papers, 3 of them syntheses 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
Background: Drug use and electronic nicotine delivery systems (ENDS) are independently associated with increased risk of cardiovascular and respiratory outcomes. Literature on the association between the dual use of these key substances and potential health outcomes is limited. Methods: We examined the association between dual use of ENDs and drugs (including heroin, methamphetamine, cocaine, painkillers, and misused stimulant medications) with adverse cardiovascular and respiratory outcomes in a longitudinal analysis using waves 1-5 from the Population Assessment of Tobacco and Health survey (2014-2018). Multivariable logistic regression with Generalized Estimating Equations was utilized. Results: About 0.9% ( Conclusions: Inhaling electronic nicotine delivery systems and other substances may negatively affect the users' respiratory health.
