Changes in environmental tobacco smoke exposure: the Beaver Dam experience.

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
objectivesEnvironmental tobacco smoke (ETS) exposure has been associated with adverse health outcomes. Our goal was to determine if ETS exposure changed between 1998-2000 and 2003-2005 among participants in the population-based Epidemiology of Hearing Loss Study.
methodsETS exposure was ascertained using a cotinine-validated questionnaire at the 5-year (1998-2000) and 10-year follow-up examinations (2003-2005). Non-smoking participants with data from both visits were included (n=1898; ages 53-96 years at 5-yr follow-up). McNemar's test was used to test differences in ETS exposure overall and in 3 settings: home, work, and social settings. Generalized estimating equations (GEE) were used for multivariate logistic regression models of exposure.
resultsThe proportion of nonsmokers with no or little ETS exposure increased from 80% to 88% (P< 0.0001). The percent living in a home with no indoor smokers increased from 94% to 97% (P<0.0001). The percent reporting no exposure at work increased from 91% to 95% (P<0.0001). The percent reporting the lowest frequency of social exposure increased from 65% to 77% (P<0.0001). In the GEE model, age was inversely associated with overall ETS exposure (Odds Ratio [OR] per 5 yr= 0.87, 95% CI= 0.81, 0.94), as was education (OR for college vs < high school=0.25, 95% CI=0.16, 0.37), female gender (ORI= 0.41, 95% CI= 0.33, 0.51), and later examination period (OR =0.62, 95% CI= 0.53, 0.73); current employment was positively associated with exposure (OR=1.44, 95% CI=1.14, 1.83).
conclusionsBetween the late 1990s and the mid-2000s, ETS exposure in older adults decreased. Decreasing exposures suggest there may be future declines in ETS-related adverse health outcomes.
