Acute cardiovascular effects of electronic cigarettes: a systematic review and meta-analysis.
Review in European heart journal open, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 8 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
Electronic cigarette (EC) is widely advertised as a safe alternative to traditional cigarette (TC). We aimed to investigate the cardiovascular effect of EC with/without nicotine compared with TC. We systematically searched PubMed/MEDLINE, EMBASE, and Cochrane CENTRAL for randomized controlled trials that compared the effect of different smoking modalities on cardiovascular function up to 1 October 2024. Analysis used the weighted mean difference (WMD) with a 95% confidence interval (CI) via Comprehensive Meta-Analysis software, version 3.0. The study evaluated key cardiovascular parameters, including pulse wave velocity (PWV), augmentation index at 75 beats/min (AIx75), flow-mediated dilation (FMD), heart rate (HR), systolic blood pressure, and diastolic blood pressure. We analysed 9 trials involving 370 participants. Acute exposure to EC with nicotine (ECN) compared with nicotine-free EC (EC0) increased PWV (WMD = 0.26; 95% CI: 0.14-0.38,
