News Finding: e-Cigarette Use and Subsequent Cigarette Smoking in Adolescents and Young Adults  
Paper Finding: We further explore this sensitivity in eFigure 3, Panels C and D. As the probability of publishing the study with the largest standard error decreases from 100% to 40%, the estimated adjusted pooled odds ratio deceases from 3.57 (e 1.27 ) to 2.59 (e 0.95 ; eFigure 3, Panel C).
News Context: e-Cigarette Use and Subsequent Cigarette Smoking in Adolescents and Young Adults  
Paper Context: The contour plot (eFigure 3, Panel B) suggests that the estimated adjusted pooled odds ratio from the meta-analysis may be sensitive (i.e., varies between 0.7 and 1.25) to the range of ( 0 ,  1 ) values. We further explore this sensitivity in eFigure 3, Panels C and D. As the probability of publishing the study with the largest standard error decreases from 100% to 40%, the estimated adjusted pooled odds ratio deceases from 3.57 (e 1.27 ) to 2.59 (e 0.95 ; eFigure 3, Panel C). Notably, the confidence interval of the adjusted pooled odds ratio remains above 1 (i.e., confidence interval of log odds ratio remains above 0) across the range of probabilities of publishing the study with the largest standard error.
