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 registryThe 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.

6 · The paper itselfAbstract
E-cigarette use among youth has become a significant public health issue, with Native Hawaiian and Pacific Islander (NHPI) youth exhibiting some of the highest usage rates in the United States. Despite the role of gender-specific motivations in shaping substance use behaviors, limited research has examined these dynamics within NHPI populations. This study explored the gendered influences on e-cigarette use and non-use among rural NHPI youth through data collected from 17 gender-specific focus groups (N = 69) conducted across eight public schools on Hawai'i Island. Key findings revealed two distinct themes: girls emphasized relational harmony, basing their decisions on the impact to familial and peer relationships, whereas boys were primarily driven by individual goals, such as enhancing athletic performance and avoiding negative consequences. These insights underscore the necessity for culturally tailored, gender-specific prevention strategies that address the unique relational and individual factors affecting NHPI youth substance use behaviors.
