Prevalence and Mental Health Correlates of Electronic Cigarette Use Among Pediatric Primary Care Patients.
Article in Clinical pediatrics, 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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.
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
Electronic cigarettes (e-cigarettes) are the most used tobacco product among US adolescents. Information about the prevalence of use in a pediatric primary care population has been limited. Youth aged 12 to 17 attending a well-child visit completed screening for past year e-cigarette, cigarette, cannabis, and alcohol use, as well as depression and anxiety symptoms. We examined e-cigarette-use prevalence, frequency, and relationship to demographics, mental health symptoms, and other substance use. Among 9740 patients, 8.2% reported past-year e-cigarette use. Males (7.2%) were less likely than females (9.2%) to use e-cigarettes, while more frequent use was associated with more frequent cannabis, alcohol, and cigarette use, as well as elevated depression and anxiety symptoms. Sex differences support a recent trend toward young females using e-cigarettes at higher rates than males. Polysubstance use was common, highlighting the importance of regular screening for all substances and feasible interventions for this setting.
