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

Objective: Methods: The study design was longitudinal. A nationally representative sample of 1138 US adults and adolescents who used e-cigarettes took a baseline online survey between Nov 2022 and Jan 2023. Six months later, 844 respondents completed a follow-up survey. Analyses used weighted simultaneous multivariable logistic regression that included demographic and vaping characteristics assessed at baseline to predict quitting e-cigarettes at 6-month follow-up. Results: At 6-month follow up, 15 % of respondents had quit e-cigarettes. Quitting was associated with having stronger quit intentions (adjusted odds ratio [aOR] = 1.49, 95 % CI = 1.09, 2.04), occasional use (aOR = 5.93, 95 % CI = 3.11, 11.30), and lower nicotine dependence (aOR = 2.56, 95 % CI = 1.38, 4.76). Quitting was also more common among gay, lesbian, or bisexual respondents than straight respondents (22 % vs. 13 %, aOR = 2.20, 95 % CI = 1.10, 4.38) and females than males (18 % vs. 11 %, OR 1.88; 95 % CI 1.06, 3.34). Conclusions: Greater motivation to quit and lower markers of nicotine dependence were associated with quitting vaping at 6 months. Interventions focused on reducing nicotine dependence and increasing quit intentions, especially among daily users, could support e-cigarette cessation.
