Interventions for Tobacco Prevention and Control in Humanitarian Settings: A Scoping Review.
Article in Nicotine & tobacco research : official journal of the Society for Research on Nicotine and Tobacco, 2024. 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
introductionTobacco usage is an epidemic as statistics point towards smoking as the second leading cause of death. Populations experiencing humanitarian emergencies may experience a higher propensity for tobacco, alcohol, and other substance abuse disorders. This review aimed to map tobacco prevention and control interventions in humanitarian settings. AIMS AND
methodsThe search for this scoping review was conducted in six databases and supplemented with a gray literature search. Articles were screened at title-abstract and full-text by two pairs of authors, and data was abstracted by three individuals independently. An adapted diffusion of governance framework is used to discuss the findings.
resultsA total of 26 articles were included from the searches conducted in the databases and gray literature. The interventions targeted all age groups. The documents retrieved from the gray literature search were classified as population-based interventions, as they were not restricted to a particular group of individuals. Interventions were delivered at various locations, using different methods and engaging multiple stakeholders. Interventions assessed were grouped into packaging, labeling, and other policy interventions (pricing and taxes).
conclusionsThere are few tobacco prevention and control interventions in the humanitarian context. The diffusion of governance perspective in implementing these interventions in humanitarian settings provides a cue for inter-sectoral cooperation among different stakeholders and disciplines beyond the health sector. Our review recommends exploring complementarity between the demand and supply-side interventions for tobacco control. IMPLICATIONS: The scoping review has highlighted various tobacco prevention and control efforts in humanitarian settings. The interventions were delivered using various modes, and yet the burden of smoking is higher among the humanitarian population. Further research may use impact evaluation techniques to assess the impact of these interventions to facilitate the re-design of the implementation approach and policy priorities.
