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

objectiveTo determine if social enhancement outcome expectancies, harm perceptions, and social normative beliefs, explain why young adults with a greater amount of peers who use electronic nicotine delivery systems (ENDS) subsequently report past 30-day ENDS use two years later.

methodParticipants were 1,721 young adults, who had used ENDS at least once, in the final three annual waves of a longitudinal study (spring 2017, 2018, 2019). At baseline, participants were 20-25 years old (

resultsOnly the social normative belief of a greater willingness to date someone who uses ENDS significantly mediated the peer ENDS use - past 30-day ENDS use association two years later (

conclusionsPrevention and intervention programs should consider altering favorable social normative attitudes toward ENDS into less favorable ones to decrease ENDS use in young adulthood.
