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
introductionDigital platforms serve as an avenue for the tobacco industry to promote both conventional tobacco and emerging products, with a notable focus on capturing the attention of young people through sophisticated marketing campaigns. This research aims to analyze the prevalence of different advertising strategies on digital platforms and to assess the impact of exposure to these strategies on the probability of use initiation and increased consumption of conventional tobacco and new tobacco products among young Spaniards.
methodsAn online survey was conducted on a representative sample of 1730 young Spaniards aged 16-21 years in November 2022 using a comprehensive approach, considering all possible relevant factors and perspectives regarding the issue of the study. A descriptive analysis and two adjusted logistic regression models were employed to explore the association of exposure to digital platforms with the likelihood of conventional tobacco and new tobacco product use among this population.
resultsAmong the participants, 83.2% reported witnessing individuals smoking, 61.6% observed identifiable logos or explicit advertisements, and 77.6% encountered indirect product placement on social media. Notably, exposure to conventional tobacco product placement (AOR=1.71; 95% CI: 1.27-2.30) emerged as the variable most significantly associated with an increased probability of tobacco use. Furthermore, exposure to advertising related to new tobacco products (AOR=2.47; 95% CI: 1.90-3.21) was linked to a heightened likelihood of subsequent use. Similarly, the direct promotion of these novel products is also associated with a higher probability of conventional tobacco use (AOR=1.58; 95% CI: 1.21-2.07).
conclusionsA reciprocal impact was identified, with the promotion of vaping being associated with an elevated probability of engaging in conventional tobacco smoking. Urgent attention is warranted for formulating public policies to mitigate the adverse effects of such insidious indirect advertising practices on digital platforms.
