Recommendations for future research exploring e-cigarette use and later cigarette smoking in young people: Results from a consultation exercise.
Article in Addiction (Abingdon, England), 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
BACKGROUND AND
aimsExploring the relationship between vaping and smoking in young people is a key area of research that can inform e-cigarette policy. Rigorous evidence mapping and synthesis have highlighted gaps and methodological concerns in the evidence base. This study provides recommendations for the conduct and reporting of future quantitative primary research exploring e-cigarette use and later cigarette smoking in young people (≤29 years).
methodsWe developed a draft version of recommendations based on the critical appraisal of studies, findings of a systematic review and an evidence and gap map. We used an anonymized on-line survey to run a consultation exercise with stakeholders, including researchers, non-profit/charity workers and clinicians. Respondents rated the perceived importance of each draft recommendation on a 5-point Likert scale and provided open-ended comments, where relevant. We developed a final set of recommendations based on this stakeholder input.
resultsWe initially came up with a list of 22 recommendations, which 36 stakeholders rated in the on-line survey. Most were researchers (n = 26) and from the USA (n = 18). Following feedback, this resulted in a final set of 23 recommendations, including recommendations for planning, data collection, data analysis and reporting. Examining causes of differences in vaping-smoking associations, including equity factors (e.g. socioeconomic status) and contextual factors (e.g. jurisdiction levels), and generating representative longitudinal data from countries other than the USA, Canada and UK, particularly low- and middle-income countries, were strongly endorsed recommendations. A new recommendation to report characteristics of e-cigarettes (e.g. flavours) was added.
conclusionsThis study provides 23 recommendations for conducting and reporting future quantitative research exploring e-cigarette use/availability and later combustible cigarette smoking in young people. Most of the recommendations are specific to studies using repeat cross-sectional data tracking population trends and to longitudinal cohort studies tracking behaviours in individuals.
