Impact of simulated cigarette excise tax increase on its consumption in Iran.
Article in Epidemiology and health, 2020. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 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
objectivesTo assess the impact of a simulated tax-induced cigarette price increase on its consumption by different expenditure clusters in Iran.
methodsEmploying consecutive cross sections for cigarette consumption, a two-part model was applied for different expenditure groups.
resultsA 75% price increase in cigarettes noticeably- as is common in some countries with strong tobacco control policies-reduces current consumption in all five social classes, causing nearly 8% of current male smokers to quit or not to start.
conclusionsFindings of the current study suggest that Iranian policy makers go through to implement tobacco taxation policies to control smoking prevalence, which in turn might lead to a reduction in national healthcare expenditures as well as enhance the global community's capacity to meet Sustainable Development Goals.
