1 · What the graph read from 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.

2 · The registry

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

backgroundLocalities have extended smoke-free policies to prohibit use of combustible and vaping products for nicotine/tobacco and cannabis (THC), but little is known about how this affects vaping behavior. We used Ecological Momentary Assessment to examine perceived exposure to smoking- and vaping-specific prohibitions and nicotine and THC vaping.

methodsYoung adults (n = 178; age 25; 55 % male; 47 % Hispanic, 21 % Asian, 21 % White) in California who endorsed past-month use of nicotine and/or THC vaping products were recruited from an existing longitudinal study. In 2023, individuals completed up to five brief surveys each day over 21 days to assess vaping behavior and momentary context (e.g., vaping/smoking prohibitions) of vaping and non-use (random prompt) events. Multilevel generalized linear mixed models assessed associations between exposure to prohibitions and likelihood of vaping nicotine or THC (vs. non-use events).

resultsYoung adults showed reduced likelihood of vaping nicotine (aOR = 0.60, 95 % CI 0.42 - 0.85; p = 0.004) and THC (aOR = 0.48, 95 % CI 0.33 - 0.69; p < 0.0001) in settings where vaping and smoking were prohibited compared to settings in which vaping and smoking were allowed. Exposure to settings in which only smoking was prohibited (vaping allowed) was associated with increased likelihood of vaping nicotine (aOR = 2.13, 95 % CI 1.34 - 3.39; p = 0.002), but unrelated to vaping THC (aOR = 0.87, 95 % CI 0.53 - 1.44; p = 0.59).

conclusionsEfforts to increase young people's awareness of and compliance with vaping prohibitions may help reduce both nicotine and THC vaping in real-world settings.
