Youth participation in tobacco control: From symbolic engagement to Shared governance.
Article in Journal of public health research, 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
Youth-led interventions are increasingly recognized as vital in advancing global tobacco control, yet their ethical and strategic dimensions remain underexplored. Building on the study by Karki et al., which demonstrated that youth-led awareness and advocacy interventions can positively influence adolescents' attitudes toward tobacco products in Nepal, this letter highlights two key considerations. First, youth participation must move beyond symbolic engagement toward genuine power-sharing within decision-making structures, ensuring that adolescents are treated as co-governors rather than temporary campaigners. Second, attitudinal change should be situated within broader structural dynamics, particularly the influence of the tobacco industry. Without enforceable reforms such as taxation, advertising restrictions, plain packaging, and protection from industry interference, youth empowerment risks being undermined. We argue for an integrated approach that combines empowerment, governance, and structural reform to transform short-term attitudinal shifts into sustained intergenerational public health gains.
