1 · What the graph read from it

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 registry

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

objectiveE-cigarette use (i.e., vaping) among young adults increases the risk for significant health consequences and combustible cigarette uptake. Although there are a growing number of vaping cessation interventions for young adults, there are no known evidence-based e-cigarette use treatments that include smoking uptake prevention. The Live Free From E-Cigarettes (LIFFE) digital program was developed to help young adults stop or reduce their use of e-cigarettes and reduce their cigarette smoking susceptibility.

methodTwenty young adults (ages 18-24) who vape but do not smoke combustible cigarettes were recruited via social media. They completed an initial survey and the single-session, 30-min intervention on their mobile devices, followed by quantitative measures of intervention feasibility and acceptability. One week later, participants completed an interview to provide feedback about the program and a follow-up survey.

resultsAll participants completed all seven intervention modules. Participants rated LIFFE as feasible in terms of delivery, usability, and logistics. Participants were satisfied with the content, design, and potential to help them and other young adults who vape to stop or reduce use. Some participants reported reductions in their susceptibility to smoke and vaping behaviors, including via quitting, 1 week after the intervention.

conclusionsQuantitative and qualitative results indicate that LIFFE is a feasible and acceptable program for engaging young adults in cessation efforts. Participants also included suggestions for potential changes to enhance the LIFFE program. Next steps will include building upon these suggestions for intervention refinement and testing the refined version in a randomized controlled trial.
