Projecting the impact of strengthened tobacco control policy on disparities in US states with persistently high smoking rates.

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
introductionThirteen Southern and Midwestern states - termed 'Tobacco Nation' - have persistently higher smoking rates than other US states. Previous research indicates increased cigarette taxes and tobacco control expenditures (TCE) may mitigate this geographical cigarette smoking disparity. The current study simulates the impact of these policies on racial and socioeconomic tobacco-related disparities within Tobacco Nation.

resultsUnder the tax-only scenario, SA outcomes would be reduced for Tobacco Nation residents below 138% the federal poverty level (FPL) by about 4.3 the magnitude of those above 138% the FPL. Some SA outcomes would be reduced by about 10% more among Non-Hispanic (NH) Black residents than NH White residents. For all subgroups, the combined policy scenario would reduce SA outcomes by about eight times the magnitude of the tax-only scenario, even though the relative reduction in disparities by poverty status would be smaller (2.8 higher reductions for those below compared to above 138% the FPL).
conclusionsThe combined policy scenario, compared to the tax-only scenario, would reduce SA harms by a substantially larger magnitude. Both scenarios are projected to reduce socioeconomic disparities in tobacco harms but not all racial disparities in Tobacco Nation without greater prioritization of targeted policies.
