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

Objective: This study investigates awareness of and support for Mexico's bans on e-cigarettes and heated tobacco products among adults who smoke. Methods: Data were analyzed from a 2020 survey of adult Mexicans who exclusively smoked cigarettes ( Results: Weighted results indicated that 27.2% of respondents were aware of the e-cigarette ban and 15.5% supported it. Among the 805 respondents who had heard of heated tobacco products, 32.5% were aware of the ban on them, and 18.8% expressed support. Awareness of the e-cigarette ban was correlated with the frequent use of cigarettes (AOR: 2.15), while awareness of heated tobacco products was associated with current use of them (AOR: 2.36). Awareness of the bans was positively associated with support for them (AOR for e-cigarettes: 1.73; AOR for heated tobacco products: 2.17). Lower support was found among those who perceived the banned product as less harmful than cigarettes (AOR for e-cigarettes: 0.51; AOR for heated tobacco products: 0.32) or perceived information about the banned product as positive (i.e. in contrast to negative or neutral; AOR for e-cigarettes: 0.21; AOR for heated tobacco products: 0.43). Conclusions: Awareness of and support for bans on e-cigarettes and heated tobacco products were low among Mexicans who smoke, especially among those who use these products or had favorable perceptions of the products and information about them.
