The availability of retail tobacco near federally qualified healthcare facilities and addiction treatment centers in New York State.
Article in Preventive medicine reports, 2020. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
The effectiveness of tobacco control policies that create smoke-free healthcare facilities and encourage the delivery of tobacco dependence treatment may be undermined by the availability of retail tobacco in the surrounding environments. This study examined the availability of retail tobacco in relation to: federally qualified health centers and look-a-like (FQHC/LAL) healthcare facilities (n = 706) as well as substance abuse and addiction treatment centers (n = 953) across New York State (NYS) in 2018. A statewide tobacco retailer density surface using static-bandwidth kernel density estimation was constructed from geocoded licensed tobacco vendors (n = 21,314). For each healthcare facility, tobacco retailer density (retailers per square mile) was extracted from the underlying NYS density surface. Proximity from each healthcare facility to the nearest tobacco vendor was calculated in walkable miles. Across NYS, tobacco retailer density ranged from 0 to 41.02 retailers per square mile. The availability of retailer tobacco near FQHC/LAL healthcare facilities and substance abuse and addiction treatment centers was higher in metropolitan areas than less urban areas as expected. School-based FQHC/LAL healthcare facilities had higher density than all other FQHC/LAL healthcare facilities types (Mean = 20.82 vs. 17.04, p = 0.0042), while opioid abuse and addiction treatment centers had on average higher density (Mean = 20.42 vs. 9.81, p < 0.0001) and closer proximity to a tobacco vendor (Mean = 0.14 vs. 0.36, p < 0.0001) than other substance abuse and addiction treatment centers. State and local tobacco control retailer reduction policies should be considered to reduce the availability of retail tobacco surrounding these facilities.
