The Gendered Experience of Smoking Stigma: Implications for Tobacco Control.
Article in Critical public health, 2017. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 25 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
Tobacco denormalization is a widely accepted tobacco control strategy, shaping policies and programs throughout the United States as well as globally. In spite of widespread beliefs about the effectiveness of tobacco denormalization approaches, concerns about their emphasis on stigmatization have emerged. Social science research on smoking stigma raises questions about the potential iatrogenic consequences of tobacco denormalization approaches. Few studies have considered how smoking stigma may be internalized differently by different people, particularly those who experience stigmatization because of other socially-ascribed makers of inequity (e.g. race, ethnicity, gender, sexuality). The intersection of multiple stigmas may work to intensify the "social isolation and marginalization" that some people already experience (Greaves & Hemsing 2009; pg S127). This paper presents results from a pattern-level analysis of focus group and interview data from a study investigating smoking-related stigma and perceptions of tobacco denormalization approaches among 15 low income Black women who smoke in the San Francisco Bay Area. Our analysis revealed a cycle where Black women's experiences with structural oppression resulted in stress and the use of cigarettes to cope with that stress. Though the connection between smoking and stress is well documented in previous research, our analysis further revealed the additional contribution of the stigmatization of smoking and how it intensifies inequity for Black women who smoke. Implications of these findings for tobacco control and prevention are discussed.
