Impact of comprehensive smoke-free policy compliance on SHS exposure and health condition of the Georgian population.
Article in Tobacco prevention & cessation, 2021. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 6 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled it.
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
introductionGeorgia made steps forward in 2017 and adopted new amendments to its tobacco control legislation, which mostly correspond to the FCTC requirements. Among other changes in the regulations is a ban on smoking in public buildings and public transport, with a few exemptions (casinos, big slot clubs, performances in theatres, taxis). The regulation entered into force on 1 May 2018.
methodsThe aim of the study is to assess the outcomes of the comprehensive smoke-free legislation in Georgia. We used a logical model for data collection and analysis. Our evaluation focuses on smoking prevalence related survey data, SHS exposure, monitoring results on compliance of new tobacco control regulations, Quitline data, and air quality measurement results.
resultsThe indoor air quality improved by 91% in the hospitality sector (from 1408 to 126 μg/m
conclusionsA comprehensive smoke-free policy with a high level of compliance (≥95%) had a positive impact on the decline of SHS exposure and tremendous improvement of indoor air quality in public places and promotes a decrease in illnesses related to the cardiovascular system in Georgia. Also, demand increased for smoking-cessation services.
