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
introductionWhile media play a crucial role in tobacco control policy advancement, little is known about how different policy contexts shape media coverage of tobacco control, particularly in China's unique political and administrative systems. This study innovatively compares tobacco control news coverage across three regions with distinct tobacco control policy environments: mainland China, Guangdong Province, and Macao SAR, examining how policy contexts influence media agenda-setting before and during the COVID-19 pandemic.
methodsUsing the WisersOne database, we analyzed 749 tobacco control news articles from three influential newspapers (
resultsSignificant disparities in coverage intensity and thematic focus were found across regions.
conclusionsThis study reveals how policy environments substantially influence media agenda-setting in tobacco control. Macao's comprehensive tobacco control legislation corresponds to more frequent and diverse media coverage, while mainland China's limited national smoke-free legislation is reflected in sparse, fragmented coverage. These findings suggest the need to strengthen media advocacy strategies in mainland China to advance national tobacco control policies, particularly by leveraging successful examples from regions with strong tobacco control measures.
