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

significanceTobacco product design features, including flavors and cigarette filter ventilation, are subject to regulation. This study examined the effects of cigarette and e-cigarette flavors on demand and substitution by preferred cigarette flavor and ventilation in the Experimental Tobacco Marketplace (ETM).

methodsIn a mixed between-group (usual cigarette flavor and ventilation)/within-subject design (policy conditions), individuals who use tobacco (n=176 cigarette (60.5 % female); n=91 multiple products (26.7 % female)) were recruited using Ipsos and InnovateMR, completed purchasing trials with increasing cigarette prices in the ETM. Participants were exposed to four conditions in a 2×2 factorial design with cigarette flavors restricted or unrestricted and e-cigarette flavors restricted or unrestricted.

resultsIn individuals who exclusively smoke cigarettes: 1) Cigarette menthol restrictions decreased willingness to purchase cigarettes (OR: 0.001; 95 % CI: 0.00002, 0.015) for individuals that prefer menthol cigarettes and increased willingness to purchase NRT (OR: 4.02; 95 % CI: 1.47, 11.0), 2) cigarette menthol restrictions reduced demand for cigarettes in individuals who smoke menthol cigarettes (p<0.001), 3) e-cigarette flavor restrictions reduced the degree of e-cigarette substitution in individuals who smoke menthol cigarettes (p=0.028), and 4) preference for higher cigarette filter ventilation was associated with higher demand for cigarettes (p=0.003) and lowered substitution of smokeless tobacco products (p=0.028). In individuals who use multiple tobacco products, restrictions did not impact product purchasing.

conclusionStrategies to reduce flavored product sales and increase cessation resource accessibility may improve population health by reducing smoking and increasing NRT use in individuals who use menthol cigarettes.
