1 · What the graph read from it

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.

2 · The registry

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

Greenwashing tactics involve advertising products as ecofriendly and/or natural, which may reduce perceived health risk. We tested the effect of greenwashing advertising tactics on cigarette demand, puff topography, and perceived health risk. Young adults (N = 31) who smoke cigarettes completed a within-subject experiment involving two topography and seven operant demand sessions. Participants were exposed to advertising for novel cigarette "brands." One brand was advertised using greenwashing tactics, whereas the other brand included matched control tactics. Unknown to participants, both conditions used the same commercial cigarette brand. During topography sessions, participants smoked cigarettes ad lib and puff topography data were collected. During demand sessions, cigarettes were concurrently available at varying prices. No significant differences were observed for puff-topography measures (d
