Tobacco Control at Community Colleges: Context and Opportunities.
Article in Tobacco prevention & cessation, 2016. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 15 papers.
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
introductionTobacco use among United States college-aged students remains higher than that of the national average. While a majority of public health literature has explained smoking programs and policies at traditional four-year colleges and universities, little research exists on programs and policies at two-year community colleges. It is important to understand such efforts at these institutions as they have vastly different infrastructures and enroll a more diverse and at-risk student body compared to traditional four-year colleges.
methodsThe role of community colleges in health efforts aimed at smoking was examined at four community colleges. Qualitative research methods included 18 interviews and four focus groups (N=55), document review, and direct environmental observation.
resultsCommunity colleges offered a limited number of smoking cessation and secondhand smoke prevention initiatives. All colleges provided cessation literature, though additional programming varied by college. Indoor and outdoor smoking policies existed on all campuses though enforcement was problematic. Little evidence was found that current program and policy approaches are based upon best practices or are being employed successfully.
conclusionsFuture tobacco control initiatives at community colleges need to require little infrastructure and minimal staffing, and be low cost. Cessation tools for students must be convenient, understandable, and accessible from multiple locations. Feasible approaches for future initiatives could include testing low cost technology such as Web Assisted Tobacco Interventions (WATI) and outside partnerships with community organizations and health agencies. Policy enforcement could be improved with tobacco policy education at orientation for students, faculty and staff.
