The Use of Machine Learning to Predict Offline Adolescent e-Cigarette Use: a Proof-of-Concept.

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
Identification of adolescent e-cigarette use could inform prevention and intervention programming and reduce associated consequences. One way to predict those engaging in use is by examining social media profiles and metrics. Most studies examining substance use content on social media employ self-report or human coding that have methodological limitations. Thus, the current study developed a supervised machine learning algorithm to classify participants into e-cigarette use categories based on Instagram metrics. Participants (n = 67, M
