Article in Journal of pharmacy & bioallied sciences, 2025. 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
Background: The rising popularity of e-cigarettes among Indian youth raises concerns about potential oral health consequences, particularly mucosal lesions. Limited data exist on this association in the Indian context. Objectives: To assess the prevalence of oral lesions among young e-cigarette users and examine usage patterns and risk awareness. Materials and Methods: This is a cross-sectional study of 300 urban Indians (150 users, 150 nonusers) aged 18-35 years. Participants underwent standardized oral examinations and completed structured questionnaires. Statistical analyses included prevalence ratios (Poisson regression) and Chi-square tests. Results: E-cigarette users showed significantly higher prevalence of leukoplakia (9.3% vs. 3.3%, relative risk [RR] = 2.80, Conclusion: E-cigarette use was independently associated with oral lesions, demonstrating clear dose-response relationships. Critical knowledge gaps exist regarding vaping risks, underscoring the need for targeted public health interventions.
