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
Objective: To determine the prevalence of electronic cigarette use among physicians, residents, and medical students at a university hospital in northern Brazil. Methods: We conducted a cross-sectional observational study using a semi-structured questionnaire to collect data on participants' knowledge and use of electronic cigarettes. Results: A total of 36 participants were included, most of whom were young female medical students (58.3%) in the 21- to 30-year age bracket. Although 91.7% were aware of electronic cigarettes and their associated health risks, 16 participants reported recreational use of such devices. Conclusions: Despite high awareness of the potential harms of electronic cigarettes, a considerable proportion of participants-primarily young female medical students-continue to use electronic cigarettes recreationally, highlighting the need for targeted educational and preventive strategies among future health care professionals.
