Changes in Prevalence of Childhood Exposure to Secondhand Smoke in India: A Secondary Analysis of GATS Survey (2009-2017).
Article in Asian Pacific journal of cancer prevention : APJCP, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 papers.
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
backgroundChildren are susceptible to early life inequalities stemming from their limited control over their environment and their physical incapability to handle the health and developmental consequences of smoke exposure. Additionally, their lack of awareness regarding the detrimental effects of secondhand smoke (SHS) exposure on their well-being emphasizes the crucial need to comprehend the extent of SHS exposure among the younger population.
objectiveThe study aims to analyze the magnitude and factors influencing SHS exposure among children under 15 years, along with the shifts in SHS exposure in India and its states between 2009-10 and 2016-17.
methodsThe study utilized two rounds of the nationally representative cross-sectional Global Adult Tobacco Survey (GATS) conducted in 2009-10 and 2016-17, respectively. The study included a total of 47,494 households with 108,814 children under 15 years of age for GATS1 and 46,874 households with 1,000,167 children under 15 years of age for GATS2. Bivariate analysis and Multivariable logistic regression was employed.
resultsForty-five percent of children experienced SHS exposure at home. Although most states saw a reduction in exposure rates, Jammu and Kashmir, Punjab, and Tamil Nadu exhibited increases between 2009-10 and 2016-17. Multivariate analysis revealed that children from the North-Eastern (OR = 6.51, CI = (5.93-7.15)) and North (OR = 7.51, CI = 6.88-8.19)) regions, rural areas (OR = 1.45, CI = (1.37-1.52)), Scheduled Tribes (OR = 1.76, CI = (1.63-1.90)), and those with household adults lacking knowledge of SHS's harmful health effects on children (OR = 1.15, CI = (1.04-1.27)) were more likely to be exposed to SHS at home.
conclusionIndia has made strides in reducing child SHS exposure, yet challenges persist in rural and impoverished homes. Comprehensive tobacco control measures can break the cycle of poverty driven by smoking-related expenses, fostering a tobacco-free generation.
