Consumption function and price elasticity of tobacco demand in Nigeria.

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
introductionTobacco consumption remains a major threat to population and public health globally. In response, an increase in the taxes levied on tobacco products has been found to be an effective intervention for controlling their use. In Nigeria, studies assessing the impact of excise taxes on tobacco use are less advanced. As such, this study evaluated the consumption function and price elasticity of tobacco demand in Nigeria.
methodsThis study used cross-section data from the Harmonized Nigerian Living Standard Survey (HNLSS, 2009-2010). Quadratic Almost Demand System (QUAIDS) of tobacco budget share and unit value equations were specified. Within and between cluster variation in prices and quantities demanded were used to determine the price elasticity of tobacco demand.
resultsHousehold size, food price index, level of education/literacy of household head and income were significant determinants of tobacco consumption. Also, rural and urban price elasticities of tobacco demand were -0.63 and -0.49 while the national price elasticity of tobacco demand was -0.62.
conclusionsThe results of this study show that for every 5% increase in the price of tobacco, there will be a corresponding reduction of about 3% in the quantity of tobacco demanded in the national and rural samples. While the same increase in the price of tobacco products will generate about 2% reduction in quantity of tobacco consumed in urban settings in Nigeria. This finding is consistent with earlier studies in low-and-middle income countries.
