Laying down the law: reducing illegal tobacco sales to minors in central Harlem.
Trial report in American journal of public health, 1998. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 14 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled 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.
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
objectivesThis study compared the impact of educational and enforcement interventions on retailers' sale of tobacco to minors in Central Harlem, New York.
methodsIn a randomized trial with repeated measures, 152 stores were randomly divided into control, education, and enforcement groups.
resultsOverall tobacco sales to 12- and 13-year-old minors at baseline (98%) were among the highest in the nation. At 6-month and 1-year follow-ups, decreases in rates of tobacco sales to minors were modest among education stores and substantial among enforcement stores.
conclusionsEffective reduction of tobacco sales to minors may require ongoing enforcement measures, including fines for retailers who violate state and local laws.
