Electronic cigarette cue reactivity in exclusive electronic cigarette users.
Article in Drug and alcohol dependence, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
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
backgroundExposure to electronic cigarette (ECIG) cues increases craving for ECIGs among people who smoke cigarettes, including those without prior ECIG use experience. This study aimed to examine the effects of ECIG cue exposure in individuals who use ECIGs regularly but have minimal smoking history (<100 cigarettes lifetime).
methodsParticipants (N = 42) attended two within-subjects conditions that differed by pictorial cue type: ECIG or neutral (water) cues. Each condition included two presentations of the condition-assigned cue type. Before and after each cue presentation, participants completed subjective measures of ECIG craving, anticipated relief from withdrawal, and mood. After the second cue presentation, participants completed ECIG delay discounting and behavioral economic tasks, with ECIG use quantified in puffs or in minutes of ECIG access. Linear mixed-effects regressions and paired-samples t-tests assessed the effects of cue type on these outcomes.
resultsRatings of ECIG craving and anticipation of relief from ECIG withdrawal increased significantly from pre- to post-cue exposure for ECIG cues relative to neutral cues (p's < .05). A similar pattern was observed for negative mood (p < .05). ECIG cues (versus neutral cues) also increased discounting of delayed minutes of ECIG access (p < .05) but not ECIG puffs.
conclusionsThis is the first study to demonstrate that ECIG cues increase ECIG craving and negative mood in individuals who vape but do not smoke cigarettes. Results have implications for restrictions on where vaping should be permitted.
