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

Objective: We explored e-cigarette use, e-cigarette knowledge, attitudes, intentions to use and access to e-cigarette health information among young adults enrolled at an Australian university. Methods: Respondents completed a survey about e-cigarette use and health resources about vaping. Data were analyzed using SPSS Version 28.0. Results: Responses were received from Conclusion: Tailored strategies for domestic and international student groups are needed to address e-cigarette use among university cohorts. Universities provide a setting in which health information and cessation support can be provided to a well-defined group, by dedicated and well-resourced health and wellbeing teams. These results provide a rich resource to guide health promotion, prevention and cessation activities on campus.
