1 · What the graph read from 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.

2 · The registry

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

Various tobacco vendors, including alternative tobacco product sellers, are listed on the popular crowdsourced business listing platform Yelp. Yelp is used to rate and choose tobacco, electronic nicotine delivery systems (ENDS) goods/services and includes self-reporting of user experiences with shops and products. We cross-referenced California Department of Tax and Fee Administration (CDTFA) licensed tobacco, vape, and head shop retail stores with publicly available Yelp business listings to identify licensed and unlicensed stores in California. We extracted metadata associated with store accounts and analyzed user comments and ratings for discussion of tobacco-related complaints and adverse events. We detected a total of 3,717 shops that were categorized as tobacco/vape/head shops on Yelp and by cross-referencing with CDTFA data, licensed businesses accounted for 49.5% (n = 1,841), licensed individual retailers 31.6% (n = 1,174), and suspected unlicensed storefronts 18.9% (n = 702). Businesses and individuals with a state tobacco retail license received a higher average rating from Yelp users (3.86 out of 5) compared to unlicensed shops (3.57) (
