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

backgroundAmerican Indian (AI) youth report disproportionately high e-cigarette use (16%), twice that of Non-Hispanic White youth (8%). However, culturally tailored vaping prevention interventions remain. Preliminary findings from the pilot assessment of Vaping Endgame (VE), an AI culturally adapted vaping prevention curriculum developed through a community-informed process, highlights pre-post outcomes, participant acceptability, and satisfaction.

methodsUsing Community-Based Participatory Research and Positive Youth Development principles, the VE curriculum was adapted from the Intervention for Nicotine Dependence: Education, Prevention, Tobacco, and Health and included Medicine Wheel elements. AI students participated in the 5-day VE program. Pre-post assessment included knowledge, attitudes, perceived behavioral control, intentions toward e-cigarette use, and readiness to change vaping behaviors. Feedback from participants and Youth Advocate Team (YAT) members assessed acceptability and satisfaction of the curriculum.

resultsOf 63 eligible AI students (7-12 grade), 32 participated in the VE pilot intervention (50.8% participation; 100% retention). Participants had a significant increase in knowledge of vaping harms (100% vs. 88%), commercial tobacco marketing tactics toward youth (94% vs. 97%), and ceremonial tobacco use (6% vs. 16%). Their perceived behavioral control against vaping significantly increased (r = -0.50, P < .001). Students rated the curriculum and facilitator (average 8.8/10). YAT members described pride contributing to the VE program.

conclusionPreliminary outcomes showed changes in knowledge and perceived behavioral control of vaping, and high satisfaction of the VE program. To our knowledge, this is the first culturally responsive vaping curriculum developed and assessed for AI youth, suggesting potential for broader delivery.
