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
Objectives: Adolescent tobacco use often leads to adult smoking, yet longitudinal evidence in the Republic of Korea is limited. This study examined the annual incidence, current use, dual use patterns, and first product type among Korean adolescents using data from the Korean Youth Health Behavior Panel Survey (KYHPS). Methods: Data from Waves 1-6 (2019-2024) of the KYHPS, comprising 5,051 students followed annually, were analyzed. Use patterns of conventional cigarettes, e-cigarettes, and heated tobacco products were assessed, accounting for longitudinal weights and complex survey design. Results: Annual incidence of tobacco product use peaked at the transition to 10th grade (3.29%) and declined thereafter. Among 11th-grade girls, the prevalence of e-cigarette use (1.54%) surpassed that of conventional cigarettes (1.33%) for the first time. Of dual users, 36.3% initiated with e-cigarettes before transitioning to other tobacco products, suggesting a possible gateway effect of e-cigarettes. Conclusions: The transition from late middle to early high school is a critical intervention period for preventing adolescent tobacco initiation. Comprehensive tobacco control strategies encompassing all tobacco products are warranted.
