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
Limited research has examined attention to these cigar-specific health warnings and their perceived effectiveness among young people. The objective of our study was to evaluate the attention to and perceptions of a set of cigar-specific health warnings among young adult tobacco users and non-users.
methodsYoung adults ages 18-24 in Columbus, Ohio, were recruited into an eye-tracking experiment examining cigarillo packaging between May 2022 and February 2023. Participants (
resultsStudy participants were an average of 21.2 years old, 54.2% were female, 73.7% were White, 65.3% had some college education, and 26.3% reported tobacco use in the previous month. The health warning, "Cigar smoking can cause cancers of the mouth and throat, even if you do not inhale" was ranked the most effective cigar warning (41.5%) and drew the greatest proportion of visual attention (26.1%). More than half (52.5%) recalled details regarding the health warning messages one week following the experiment, with few recalling (17.7%) specific warning message themes.
conclusionsUnderstanding the best performing health warnings is a crucial strategy to share accurate information on the risks of tobacco use. Our findings suggest that the warning on cancer risk even without inhaling drew the greatest visual attention and highest rating of perceived effectiveness among this sample of young adult cigarillo users and non-users.
