Self-Reported Consumption of Bottled Water v. Tap Water in Appalachian and Non-Appalachian Kentucky.
Article in Journal of Appalachian health, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
Introduction: Quantitative studies on drinking water perceptions in Appalachia are limited. High-profile water infrastructure failures in the U.S. and Eastern Kentucky, coupled with human-made and natural disasters in the Appalachian Region, have likely impacted opinions regarding tap water. Purpose: To use existing unexplored data to describe baseline tap water v. bottled water consumption in Kentucky. Methods: Telephone-based cross-sectional data were obtained from the 2013 Kentucky Health Issues Poll (KHIP) directed by the Foundation for a Healthy Kentucky. Among many items in KHIP, self-reported consumption of bottled water over tap water, reasons for bottled water use, and demographic data were obtained. Results: Among Appalachian (n=356) and non-Appalachian (n=1,125) Kentucky respondents, a significantly higher frequency of Appalachian Kentuckians reported drinking bottled water more often than tap water relative to non-Appalachian Kentuckians (57% v. 34%; Implications: These results from 2013 data pre-date headline news items related to public water and likely underestimate current bottled water preferences. New data are needed, and these results warrant further investigation into tap water aesthetics in Appalachia, bottled water consumption impacts on personal finances, and approaches to build public trust for public drinking water among multiple populations including Appalachian Kentuckians.
