Sources and Number of Coupons for Cigarettes and Snus Received by a Cohort of Young Adults.
Article in American journal of health promotion : AJHP, 2018. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 10 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled 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.
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
purposeTo examine the sources of tobacco coupons and their influence on susceptibility to snus use.
designCohort study.
settingMinnesota Adolescent Community Cohort Study. SUBJECTS: A population-based sample of US Midwest young adults in 2011 to 2012 and 2012 to 2013 (aged 22-28; n = 2384). MEASURES: Exposure to coupons for various tobacco products through various sources in the past 6 months, susceptibility to snus use. ANALYSIS: Multiple logistic regressions.
resultsDuring the 6 months prior to 2012 to 2013 survey, 11% of the sample received coupons for cigarettes, 5% received coupons for snus, 3% received coupons for other smokeless tobacco products, and <1% received coupons for little cigars. Direct mail was the most commonly cited source of cigarette and snus coupons. Tobacco product packaging provided the highest number of tobacco coupons for current and former smokers. Participants without a 4-year college education (compared to those who had a 4-year college education) were more likely to have received coupons for cigarettes and snus and received more coupons for both products ( P < .05). Racial/ethnic minority young adults (vs non-Hispanic white) received more cigarette and snus coupons ( P < .05). Receiving snus coupons was positively associated with susceptibility to snus use ( P < .05).
conclusionTobacco companies are successful in reaching young adults using coupons for various tobacco products. Snus coupons may influence snus use, similar to how cigarette coupons influence smoking.
