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
Tobacco use remains a critical public health challenge in Vietnam, contributing to significant health and economic burdens. Despite comprehensive tobacco control policies, cessation rates remain low. This study investigates how tobacco control awareness, media exposure, and health knowledge influence quit intentions among Vietnamese smokers. A cross-sectional analysis of 17 387 adult current smokers from the 2024 Provincial Global Adult Tobacco Survey (PGATS) was conducted. Structural equation modeling (SEM) tested direct and mediated pathways between tobacco control awareness, anti-/pro-tobacco media exposure, health knowledge, and quit intentions, adjusting for age and gender. Multiple imputation addressed missing data (3.7%), and model fit was assessed using AIC, BIC, and SRMR. Health knowledge and anti-tobacco media exposure were the strongest predictors of quit intentions (β = 0.107,
