Commercial tobacco retail marketing in rural communities in Appalachian Kentucky, 2024.
Article in Preventive medicine reports, 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 papers.
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
Objective: To investigate heterogeneous commercial tobacco marketing patterns across rurality gradient. Methods: We conducted audits in all retail stores ( Results: Most stores carried cigarettes, cigarillos, and smokeless products, and over 50 % sold ONP, little cigars, and vapes. Lower proportions of stores in rural catchment carried ONP, little cigars, snus, and vapes. Stores in the least rural areas (Q1) had greater likelihood of exterior ads for vapes/ONPs. Stores across rural areas (Q1-Q3 vs Q4) had greater likelihood of interior vape ads. Stores in moderately-rural areas had greater likelihood of cigarette discounts inside (Q2 and Q3) and outside (Q3) stores (vs Q4). Conclusions: Conventional combustible and smokeless products were widely available throughout Appalachian Kentucky. Newer non-combustible products were less available in the most rural areas. Exterior store marketing was less present in the most rural areas.
