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

The global population breathes unsafe levels of pollutants. In recent years, electronic cigarettes (e-cigs) have become a significant source of particulate matter (PM), which causes injurious effects across organ systems. E-cig users and bystanders are exposed to concentrated aerosols, commonly called vapor, that we now know can have harmful long-term consequences due to PM and chemicals contained within. E-cigs are diverse in design, and e-liquids vary dramatically, making it difficult to draw broad conclusions from studies of different devices, brands, and flavors. With the rise in popularity of e-cigs, it is important to define the health effects across the body. In this comprehensive review, we dissect and summarize the known organ-specific effects of e-cigs, including underlying molecular mechanisms. Notably, e-cig aerosols broadly cause increased cytokine release and oxidative stress, which are associated with a heightened risk of organ dysfunction. We also highlight ways to minimize harmful e-cig constituents to develop safer products.
