1 · What the graph read from 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.

2 · The registry

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 (ECIGs) generate high concentrations of particulate matter (PM), impacting the air quality inhaled by humans through secondhand exposure. ECIG liquids are available commercially and some users create their own "do-it-yourself" liquids, and these liquids often vary in the amounts of their chemical ingredients, including propylene glycol (PG) and vegetable glycerin (VG). Previous studies have quantified PM concentrations in ECIG aerosol generated from liquids containing different PG/VG ratios. However, the effects of these ratios on aerosol instrument filter correction factors needed to measure PM concentrations accurately have not been assessed. Thus, ECIG aerosol filter correction factors for multiple aerosol instruments (SMPS + APS, MiniWRAS, pDR, and SidePak) were determined for five different PG/VG ratios 1) 0PG/100VG, 2) 15PG/85VG, 3) 50PG/50VG, 4) 72PG/28VG, and 5) 90PG/10VG and two different PM sizes, PM
