The effectiveness of anti-vaping health communication campaigns among high school and college students in the U.S.
Review in Frontiers in public health, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
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
Introduction: This policy review looks at the exact message themes used in anti-vaping health communication campaigns, PSAs, and warning labels to determine how they can be improved to decrease vaping initiation and encourage cessation among adolescents and young adults. Literature review: Two meta-analyses, one on anti-vaping campaigns and another on vaping advertisements are reviewed in addition to one retrospective on tobacco warning labels. Overall, messages that reveal specific health harms and increase perceived risk are most likely to decrease vaping tendency. Methods: A total of 16 studies are analyzed assessing the viewpoints of 21,427 people regarding how they feel about terminology used in several types of anti-vaping messages. Actionable recommendations: Multiple recommendations are made regarding how to improve the efficacy of current anti-vaping campaigns. Among several other factors, messages that denote the health consequences of vaping and chemicals contained in vapor products are the most effective. Meanwhile, messages that warn that nicotine is addictive are deemed the least effective. Discussion: Implications of these findings for policymakers include the need for a new FDA warning label that includes specific health implications of vape and nicotine use; Structural changes to restrict youth and young adult access to vape products; as well as guidance regarding how to use social media to disseminate information on the dangers of vaping.
