Secondhand Smoke (SHS) Exposure Among Nonsmokers in Chengalpattu District. A Household Survey.
Article in Journal of pharmacy & bioallied sciences, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
Background: The World Health Organization (WHO) Framework Convention on Tobacco Control mandates smoke-free environments to protect nonsmokers, especially minors, from secondhand smoke (SHS) globally. This study aimed to assess the exposure of SHS among nonsmokers in households from Chengalpattu district. Materials and Methods: A cross-sectional study was conducted among 500 participants. A convenience sampling technique was used. A self-administered 11-item questionnaire was used assess the exposure to SHS. Results: Among the 500 study participants, 242 (48.4%) and 258 (51.6%) belonged to male and female groups, respectively, which was found to be not statistically significant. Among the 500 study participants, 146 (29.2%) responded that SHS will cause harm to adults, and 354 (70.8%) responded that SHS will not cause harm to adults. Conclusion: SHS exposure had not significantly reduced at home, public places, and workplaces among nonsmokers.
