Effects of electronic cigarette E-liquid and device wattage on vascular function.
Article in Toxicology and applied pharmacology, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 15 papers, 1 of them a synthesis 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
Electronic cigarettes (e-cigs) are customizable tobacco products that allow users to select e-liquid composition, flavors, and (in some devices) adjust wattage or heat used to generate e-cig aerosol. This study compared vascular outcomes in a conducting vessel (thoracic aorta) and a resistance artery (middle cerebral artery, MCA) in C57Bl/6 mice exposed to e-cig aerosol generated from either pure vegetable glycerin (VG) or pure propylene glycol (PG) over 60-min (Study 1), and separately the effect of using 5- vs. 30-watt settings with an exposure of 100-min (Study 2). In Study 1, aortic endothelial-dependent-dilation (EDD) was only impaired with PG- exposure (p < 0.05) compared with air. In the MCA, EDD response was impaired by ∼50% in both VG and PG groups compared with air (p < 0.05). In Study 2, the aortic EDD responses were not different for either 5- or 30-watt exposed groups compared with air controls; however, in the MCA, both 5- and 30-watt groups were impaired by 32% and 55%, respectively, compared with air controls (p < 0.05). These pre-clinical data provide evidence that chronic exposure to aerosol produced by either VG or PG, and regardless of the wattage used, leads to vascular dysfunction at multiple levels within the arterial system. For all exposures, we observed greater impairment of arterial reactivity in a resistance artery (i.e. MCA) compared with the aorta. These data could suggest the smaller arteries may be more sensitive or first to be affected, or that different mechanism(s) for impairment may be involved depending on arterial hierarchy.
