Is vaping e-cigarettes associated with sleep duration in US young adults? evidence from the 2022 BRFSS.

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
backgroundThe increasing use of e-cigarettes and the decline in sleep duration among young people are growing public health concerns. While cigarette smoking has been linked to shorter sleep duration, less is known about the effects of e-cigarettes. This study explores the association between exclusive e-cigarette use and sleep duration among US young adults aged 18-24 who only use e-cigarettes.
methodsWe analyzed data from 26,943 young adults in the 2022 Behavioral Risk Factor Surveillance System survey. Sleep duration was categorized as short (< 7 h/24 hours), normal (7-9 h), or long (> 9 h). We excluded participants using any tobacco/nicotine products other than e-cigarettes and restricted the sample to 4,553 young adults with complete data. Logistic regression models assessed e-cigarette use status (i.e., current use, past use, and non-use) in relation to sleep duration, adjusting for demographics, current substance use, lifestyle factors, and health conditions.
resultsOverall, 31.9% of young adults experienced short sleep duration, 63.2% reported normal sleep, and 4.9% had long sleep. Current e-cigarette users had a higher prevalence of short sleep duration (44.6%) than past users (33.0%) and non-users (27.4%; p-value < 0.001). Weighted analyses indicated that current e-cigarette use was significantly associated with short sleep duration (adjusted OR = 1.82; 95%CI: 1.30-2.54), but no significant associations were found with long sleep duration (all p-values > 0.05).
conclusionsCurrent exclusive e-cigarette use is associated with short sleep duration among US young adults. Efforts to reduce e-cigarette use in this population may contribute to improved sleep health.
