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
objectiveEstimate tobacco use in adults in 2015 and observance of the provisions of the General Law for the Control of Tobacco and its Harmful Effects on Health and its regulations.
methodsA cross-sectional study was conducted using the Global Adult Tobacco Survey (GATS) in homes, with national representation based on a three-stage probabilistic sample by sex and area of residence.
resultsVisits were made to 9 632 homes where 8 607 individual interviews were conducted; the response rate was 89%. Current smokers were 8.9% (95% CI: 8.1-9.8). Prevalence in men was 13.4% (12.0-15.0), and in women, 4.4% (3.7-5.2); in urban areas, 9.6% (8.5-10.7), in rural areas, 7.1% (6.2-8.2); and mean age of smoking initiation and mean number of cigarettes smoked per day, 16.1 years (15.6-16.6) and 13.4 (12.2-14.7), respectively. Prevalence was highest in the group aged 45 to 64 years: 10.4% (9.0-12.0); 47.5% of interviewees had never heard of electronic cigarettes; and 6.3% had been exposed to tobacco smoke in the workplace and 7.9% in restaurants.
conclusionsThis survey yielded policy and health information relevant to surveillance, health care, and enforcement of Costa Rica's antismoking legislation. Greater effort is needed to ensure that all obligations under Law 9028 are met, and that the results will remain in place until the second GATS in 2020.
