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

objectiveThe current study used ecological momentary assessment (EMA) and 4 years of survey data to examine whether a history of cannabis advertising exposure in early young adulthood, and more proximal ad exposure, are associated with event-level tetrahydrocannabinol (THC) vaping.

methodYoung adults in California (

resultsExposure to THC vape product advertisements during the EMA period was associated with 1.96 times higher odds of THC vaping (95% CI [1.02, 3.75]) relative to non-exposure events. Greater exposure to cannabis product advertisements in previous survey waves (adjusted odds ratio [aOR] = 1.13, 95% CI [0.82, 1.56]) and exposure to other types of cannabis advertising during EMA surveys (aOR = 1.36, 95% CI [0.82, 2.25]) were not associated with THC vaping at the event level.

conclusionsProximal exposure to THC vaping ads may have a stronger association with THC vaping than proximal exposure to other cannabis advertisements or young adults' history of cannabis advertising exposure. Results demonstrate the importance of assessing proximal advertising exposure when investigating THC vaping among young adults.
