Stakeholder perspectives of tobacco use on campus and implementation of a tobacco-free policy at a Midwest university.

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
introductionImplementation of a 100% tobacco-free policy at universities can assist in limiting the potential negative health impacts of tobacco use, such as susceptibility to lung and heart disease, cancer, addiction, and life-long use. This study's goal was to gain the perspective of students and non-students across a large Midwestern university campus on implementation of a 100% tobacco-free policy.
methodsStudents, faculty, and staff of a Midwestern university were recruited to complete a 19-question cross-sectional online survey on tobacco use on campus, awareness of the current tobacco-free policy, and their interest in supporting a 100% smoke-free policy on campus. The survey included open- and close-ended questions, and responses were analyzed qualitatively and quantitatively.
resultsA total of 2389 respondents completed the survey, and 291 (12.2%) reported current tobacco use from April to July 2024. Participants with a higher probability of current tobacco use were associated with having a higher degree of exposure to secondhand aerosols (AOR=1.34; 95% CI: 1.10-1.62), more awareness of the current tobacco policy (AOR=1.19; 95% CI: 1.06-1.32), and disagreed with the petition statement in support of a 100% tobacco-free campus policy (AOR=2.47; 95% CI: 1.48-4.12). Participants that reported a higher degree of exposure to secondhand aerosols (AOR=2.18; 95% CI: 1.19-3.99) and agreed with the statement that a 100% smoke-free campus policy would promote a healthier college campus (AOR=2.18; 95% CI: 1.20-3.96) were significantly associated with supporting the petition for a 100% smoke-free policy on this university campus.
conclusionsSupporting a 100% tobacco-free policy for a healthier and safer university campus was demonstrated to be associated with secondhand aerosol exposure among survey respondents.
