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

Although the use of electronic nicotine delivery systems (ENDS) among youth has declined since its peak in 2018, it remains popular among young adults. Despite its popularity, research on the health effects of secondhand exposure to ENDS remains limited. Silicone wristbands offer a simple, cost-effective method for measuring nicotine exposure. The study employed a quasi-experimental design and recruited six dyads consisting of ENDS users and non-users. Over three consecutive months, all participants wore silicone wristbands for one week at a time to assess nicotine exposure. ENDS users had a higher overall median nicotine concentration in their silicone wristbands (423.2 ng/g, IQR: 199.2-669.1) compared to non-users (17.2 ng/g, IQR: 6.5-128.0). This trend was consistent across all time points. Statistically significant differences between ENDS users and non-users were observed during months 1 and 2 (
