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
issue addressedThis study explored community attitudes towards expanding smoke- and vape-free zones in Gippsland, Victoria, to inform public health policy aimed at reducing smoking and vaping-related harm.
methodsA cross-sectional online survey was conducted among Gippsland residents aged 12 and older (n = 662), examining support for increased measures to address smoking and vaping in Gippsland. Descriptive statistics assessed demographic characteristics and survey responses, and logistic regression analysis examined associations between support for interventions and key correlates. Responses from open-ended questions regarding the implementation of smoke- and vape-free zones were analysed using thematic content analysis.
resultsMost respondents (91%) supported further action to reduce tobacco and e-cigarette-related harm and endorse the expansion of smoke- and vape-free zones. Among business owners/managers, nearly half (48%) anticipated no business impact, while 29% anticipated a positive outcome. Compared to people who smoke, occasional (UOR 4.75, 95% CI 1.45-18.93, p = 0.015) and non-smokers (UOR 22.45, 95% CI 10.22-50.26, p < 0.001) were more likely to support the expansion of zones. Younger respondents aged 16-18 were less supportive compared to those aged 60 and older (UOR 0.32, 95% CI 0.11-0.92, p = 0.012).
conclusionsThe findings indicate strong overall community support for expanding smoke- and vape-free zones in Gippsland. Findings varied by smoking status and age, with people who smoke and/or vape and younger respondents demonstrating less support compared to people who don't smoke and/or vape and those aged 60 and older.
