Assessing Attention to Tobacco Warnings With a Heatmapping Task.
Article in American journal of preventive medicine, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
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
introductionAttention is a critical outcome to understanding the impacts of tobacco warning labels and is commonly measured using eye tracking. Self-report, online methods may be efficient, scalable alternatives to capture attention. This study assesses warning label attention on cigarette marketing using a heatmapping task.
methodsYoung adults (n=1,608) aged 18-30 years and registered on Mechanical Turk with a WorkerID verified in the U.S. were included. Data were collected in 2021-2022 and analyzed in 2022. Tobacco advertisement exposure included a 2 × 3 between-subjects factorial design for varying contexts and warnings. Attention was operationalized with self-reported frequency and timing of warning selection. Outcomes include credibility, willingness to use the advertised cigarettes, and intentions to use cigarettes and low-nicotine cigarettes.
resultsEarly and more frequent attention to the warning was associated with higher credibility (frequent: β=0.28, 95% CI=0.11, 0.44; early: β=0.14, 95% CI=0.02, 0.25), lower willingness to use the advertised cigarettes (frequent: β= -1.78, 95% CI= -2.24, -1.32; early: β= -1.16, 95% CI= -1.49, -0.84), lower cigarette use intentions in the next week (frequent: β= -0.44, 95% CI= -0.64, -0.25; early: β= -0.21, 95% CI= -0.35, -0.08), and lower low-nicotine cigarette use intentions in the next week (frequent: β= -0.47, 95% CI= -0.66, -0.28; early: β= -0.25, 95% CI= -0.38, -0.12) than no attention at all.
conclusionsGreater attention as measured by a heatmapping task was observed for pictorial warnings and associated with lower intentions to use tobacco. Heatmapping selection patterns were a suitable proxy for attention in this online sample.
