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
Electronic cigarettes (e-cigarettes) are nicotine delivery devices promoted as a safer alternative to traditional smoking; however, their long-term health effects remain uncertain. Their use is rapidly increasing worldwide, particularly among young adults. In Jeddah, Saudi Arabia, there is limited information on e-cigarette usage among college students. This study aimed to assess the level of knowledge and awareness regarding the health effects of e-cigarettes among college students in Jeddah through a cross-sectional, survey-based study conducted in 2024 with 438 participants. Data were collected using a pre-validated self-administered questionnaire distributed via various social media platforms. Categorical variables were compared using the chi-square test.

Among the participants, 29.7% believed that e-cigarettes are an effective smoking cessation method, 50.5% viewed them as a potential replacement for traditional cigarettes, and 43.2% considered e-cigarettes a gateway to conventional smoking. Overall, 39.3% of respondents demonstrated good knowledge about e-cigarettes, with significant differences observed between age groups, genders, smoking experience (
