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
introductionFinland implemented a point-of-sale (POS) display ban for tobacco products and their trademarks in 2012, and for electronic cigarettes in 2016. In this study we examine whether noticing tobacco products changed among adolescents after the implementation of the display ban and describe the noticing of e-cigarette displays post-implementation.
methodsRepeated cross-sectional national survey data of 12-to 16-year-olds from years 2011, 2013, 2015 and 2017 were used. Measures included adolescent self-report on noticing displays of tobacco and e-cigarettes in shops, kiosks and service stations. Adjusting for age, gender, smoking and academic achievement, logistic regression analyses were conducted by retailer type to test the association between survey year and noticing POS tobacco displays.
resultsThe proportions of adolescents noticing tobacco displayed in shops, kiosks and service stations decreased from 2011 to 2013 (from over 80% to about 30%). Between 2013 and 2017, exposure to tobacco displays decreased for kiosks but slightly increased for shops and service stations. However, in all retailer types, rates in 2017 were still well below the pre-ban levels of 2011. In 2017, noticing e-cigarette displays by 12- to16-year-old adolescents was reported by 5.6% in shops, 20.5% in kiosks and 5.1% in service stations.
conclusionsThe pronounced decline in adolescents' exposure to tobacco products at POS observed in the current study implies adherence to the ban, as intended by the law. We encourage more countries to enact POS tobacco advertising and display bans, and to enforce the POS regulations to all tobacco products and novel nicotine delivery systems.
