Community power in tobacco cessation: sustainable solutions for low- and middle-income countries.
Article in Annals of medicine and surgery (2012), 2026. 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
Tobacco use remains a major global public health issue that results in more than 8 million deaths annually, with over 80% occurring in low- and middle-income countries (LMICs). South Asian countries bear an unevenly increased burden of tobacco-related cancers and other diseases. Beyond its health effects, tobacco deepens poverty, widens social inequalities, and burdens national economies. Although the World Health Organization (WHO) provides effective frameworks, progress in LMICs remains limited due to weak enforcement, industrial lobbying, and poor implementation. In the absence of well-resourced healthcare systems, community-based approaches have emerged as a sustainable and resource-efficient strategy for tobacco control. These initiatives empower trusted local figures to integrate cessation messages into schools, maternal health visits, and community gatherings. Empowering communities as co-designers of cessation programs is essential to achieving the WHO Framework Convention on Tobacco Control goals and Sustainable Development Goal 3.
