E-CIGARETTE FLAVOR RESTRICTIONS' EFFECTS ON TOBACCO PRODUCT SALES.
Article in American journal of health economics, 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 14 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
More than 385 US localities and 7 states have implemented restrictions on sales of flavored electronic nicotine delivery systems (ENDS), yet these policies' effects remain unclear. Utilizing comprehensive data on tobacco product flavor policies linked to retail sales data from January 2018 through March 2023, we estimate the effects of these restrictions. Our findings reveal that ENDS flavor restrictions yield substantial decreases in total ENDS sales, primarily owing to significant declines in flavored ENDS sales alongside nonsignificant increases in unflavored ENDS sales. Further analyses find that ENDS flavor restrictions increase sales of combustible cigarettes, a more harmful product: 11 to 15 additional cigarettes are purchased for every 1 less 0.7 mL ENDS pod sold because of these policies. This uptick in cigarette sales stems primarily from non-menthol cigarettes and includes brands disproportionately used by underage youth. These findings suggest that the public health benefits from reducing ENDS sales via flavor restrictions may be offset by the public health costs of consequent increases in cigarette consumption.
