Early onset of e-cigarette use and subsequent use frequency among US high school students.
Article in Preventive medicine reports, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper, 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
Objective: The aim of this study was to examine whether the age of e-cigarette use onset predicts subsequent use of e-cigarettes. Methods: We used the National Youth Tobacco Survey (NYTS) from 2022. Our sample consisted of 4537 US high school students who had ever used e-cigarettes. Age of first e-cigarette use was assessed by a categorical variable ( Results: Among 4537 high school students who had ever used e-cigarettes, 49.5 % (95 % CI, 46.1 %-52.9 %) reported any use in the past 30 days and 22.8 % (95 % CI, 20.0 %-25.7 %) reported frequent e-cigarette use. Early-onset users, compared with those who tried e-cigarettes at age 14 or older, showed significantly higher risks of any use (aRR = 1.21, 95 % CI, 1.11-1.33) and frequent use (aRR = 1.88, 95 % CI, 1.60-2.20) in the past 30 days. We found younger age at first use to be associated with higher risk of current and frequent use. Conclusions: Our findings highlight the importance for age-sensitive efforts, prioritizing younger adolescents, to prevent and delay e-cigarette use initiation.
