Knowledge and attitudes toward thirdhand smoke among parents with children under 3 years in Spain.
Article in Pediatric research, 2018. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 6 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
introductionThe knowledge and beliefs about what is thirdhand smoke (THS) are limited. Our objective is to characterize the knowledge and beliefs about THS in parents of children under 3 years old in Spain.
methodsA cross-sectional study (n = 1406 parents) was conducted online in 2017. We collected information about the knowledge of THS given later, written information with the definition of THS, and asking about beliefs of the effects of THS on children's health.
resultsA total of 27% of the respondents had heard about THS. We only found significant differences among smoking status, being the smokers who declare higher knowledge about THS. A total of 86% of the respondents believed that THS is harmful to their children with statistically significant differences according to educational level, higher among parents with a university degree (ORa = 2.6), and according to the previous knowledge on THS (ORa = 2.1).
conclusionsThis is the first study in Europe to describe the knowledge and belief of THS. Around 3 out of 10 parents have heard about THS and more than 8 out of 10 parents believed that THS is harmful to their children. Currently, they were not aware of THS but after providing brief information about it, most of them agreed that THS exposure is harmful to their children.
