State Preemption and Local Tobacco Control: Constraints and Opportunities for Innovation in the US.
Article in International journal of environmental research and public health, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
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
State preemption of local laws may impede tobacco control, yet little research has examined local policy activity before, during, and after preemption. This study addresses this gap. We summarized state laws preempting local smoke-free workplace, youth access, and licensure laws (CDC's STATE) and local legislative activity before, during, and after preemption (Americans for Nonsmokers' Rights Foundation) across 1999-2021. Preemption existed for smoke-free workplaces in 18 states, youth access in 21, and licensure in 13. Regarding smoke-free workplace laws, local laws were passed in 5 of 11 states with preemption throughout; among seven states with partial-period preemption, local laws were enacted before preemption or after repeal in three states but during preemption in two. Regarding youth access, localities adopted laws (e.g., addressing purchase/use/possession or e-cigarettes) in 11 of 18 states with preemption throughout; among the three states with partial-period preemption, localities passed laws before preemption in one state and during preemption in two. For licensure, localities passed laws (e.g., licensing requirements/penalties) in eight of nine states with preemption throughout and three of four states with partial-period preemption. Although state preemption reduced local activity, some localities advanced tobacco control during preemption, underscoring the need for localities to exercise autonomy permitted under preemption.
