1 · What the graph read from it

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.

2 · The registry

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

Background: There is limited evidence on preferences for tobacco endgame policies and support levels for them in the Middle East. Further, no studies on the interactive association of sex and tobacco use status with support levels exist to date. Objectives: To examine preferred tobacco endgame strategies and levels of support in a Qatari sample. Methods: A convenience sample of adults ( Results: Males and current tobacco users prefer standardized packages, females prefer nicotine reduction policies, and never tobacco users prefer tax increases, import bans, bans for minors and adults, and flavor bans. Never and past tobacco users reported higher tobacco endgame support relative to current tobacco users. Further, males who never used tobacco or used it in the past reported higher tobacco endgame support than male current users. Conclusion: High tobacco endgame support level and preferences for a wide range of tobacco endgame policies might be promising indicators for embracing them, especially among never tobacco users and males that do not currently use tobacco in Qatar.
