Associations between vaping and daily cigarette consumption among individuals with psychological distress.
Article in Tobacco prevention & cessation, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. An erratum has been issued. Cited by 3 papers.
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
introductionIndividuals with behavioral health conditions smoke at significantly higher rates and have been resistant to existing smoking cessation efforts. A clearer understanding of associations between vaping and daily cigarette consumption in this vulnerable population is warranted.
methodsWe analyzed data from the 2014-2018 National Health Interview Survey (NHIS) to examine whether vaping was associated with differences in number of cigarettes smoked per day (CPD) among adults who smoke daily and have varying levels of psychological distress.
resultsAfter adjustment for sociodemographic covariates, individuals who vaped every day smoked on average 1.48 fewer cigarettes per day than individuals who never vaped (p<0.01), while individuals who vaped some days and individuals who ever but no longer vaped smoked 0.77 and 1.48 more CPD, respectively, than individuals who never vaped. Differences between those who vaped every day and those who never vaped were even greater among those with moderate psychological distress (-2.21 CPD, p<0.01).
conclusionsOur findings suggest that use of vaping devices may be associated with lower daily cigarette use among individuals with psychological distress, potentially supporting smoking harm reduction efforts.
