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: Limited evidence exists on type of tobacco use changes and differential health outcomes following the introduction of non-combustible nicotine or tobacco products (NNTPs). Therefore, this study aimed to evaluate the characteristics, trends, and health outcomes of exclusive combustible cigarette users and dual users of combustible cigarette and NNTP. Methods: This study analyzed data from the Korea National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey from 2013 to 2021 ( Results: Exclusive combustible cigarette user showed a decreasing trend, while dual exhibited a showed increase. This shift from exclusive combustible cigarette user to dual user was particularly evident among younger, highly educated, and higher-income individuals. Compared to exclusive combustible cigarette users, dual users exhibited significantly associations with depression (aOR, 1.50 [95 % CI, 1.19-1.89]), atopic dermatitis (1.39 [1.10-1.74]), and allergic rhinitis (1.30 [1.14-1.49]). Conclusions: The prevalence of dual use is increasing and is associated with a higher risk of depression, atopic dermatitis, and allergic rhinitis.
