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

What is already known about this topic?: The electronic cigarette (e-cigarette) market in China has been gradually expanding. Substantial evidence indicates that e-cigarettes pose considerable health risks to the human body. What is added by this report?: The prevalence of e-cigarette ever use among Beijing residents aged ≥15 years ranged from 5.7% to 8.6% during 2016-2023, while current use ranged from 1.6% to 2.7%, with both metrics peaking in 2021. Current smokers who had attempted to quit within the past year showed the highest odds of e-cigarette use. What are the implications for public health practice?: The public are not fully aware of the academic and clinical controversies regarding e-cigarettes' effectiveness for smoking cessation and may underestimate their health risks. There is an urgent need for targeted knowledge campaigns and for the provision of more accessible smoking cessation services.
