Tobacco cessation, anti-tobacco education, and smoke-free schools: Findings from the Global Youth Tobacco Survey.
Article in Tobacco prevention & cessation, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 5 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
introductionAdolescents are especially vulnerable to the harmful effects of tobacco use. This study examined changes in tobacco use in schools, the provision of anti-tobacco education, and cessation efforts over time, and the importance of cessation support and education for cessation efforts among youth aged 13-15 years.
methodsWe performed secondary analyses of cross-sectional data from the latest two rounds of the Global Youth and Tobacco Survey (GYTS). Forty-five countries met the inclusion criteria for examining changes in quit attempts; 42 for receipt of cessation support; 28 for anti-tobacco education; 27 for tobacco use in schools, and 45 for the combined analysis of the association between cessation support and anti-tobacco education with quit attempts. To assess differences between the rounds, crude and adjusted prevalence estimates were compared as average adjusted predictions from univariate and multivariate logistic regressions. The association between quit attempts and other characteristics was examined using mixed effects binary logistic regression with a random intercept for the country.
resultsPercentages of youth who attempted to quit smoking (11/45), received cessation support (12/42), or saw others smoking on school premises (5/27) did not change in the majority of countries between survey rounds after adjusting for age and sex. Over half of the countries (15/27) reported significant changes in provision of anti-tobacco education between survey rounds, after adjustment. In 45 countries, adolescents who received help for quitting smoking (AOR=3.23; 95% CI: 3.02-3.45) or anti-tobacco education (AOR=1.13; 95% CI: 1.06-1.21) were more likely to attempt cessation than those without help or education (p<0.001).
conclusionsDespite the importance of cessation support and anti-tobacco education in promoting quit attempts among adolescents, many countries lack sufficient cessation initiatives for youth. Monitoring these indicators is necessary for guiding the development of public health interventions to reduce tobacco and nicotine product use among youths.
