Increased Tobacco Taxation Associated With Decreased Consumption and Bladder Cancer Incidence.
Article in Urology practice, 2025. 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
introductionThe temporal relationship between smoking exposure and bladder cancer (BC) diagnosis remains ill defined. This study aims to cross-correlate and temporally associate changes in US tobacco tax and consumption with BC incidence.
methodsUS tobacco consumption, tobacco tax data, and BC incidence rates from 1975 to 2019 were retrieved. A cross-correlation lag time for tobacco tax and consumption on BC incidence was calculated while controlling for national health expenditure. Proxied lag weighted semi-log linear models were used to determine the rate of change in BC incidence rates associated with a 1% change in tobacco tax percentages on a national and state level.
resultsA 1% increase in tobacco tax was associated with a 1.77% decrease in BC incidence over a 6-year period (
conclusionsDeclining US tobacco consumption may indicate significant reduction in BC incidence through 2047. Primary prevention through adaptation of state-legislated tax changes may contribute to a reduction in BC incidence in states lying within the Central United States. A national tobacco tax initiative can be considered given the improvement in population health.
