Summary of studies identified by FCTC Article.

The numbers of identified studies included and excluded from full analysis are displayed by FCTC Article. The number of studies performed before and after 2005 (year FCTC brought into force) are also shown. Studies that involved data collection both pre- and post- FCTC have been listed as ‘post-2005’. Where the dates of the study were not reported, the ‘pre-/post- 2005’ designation was applied according to the date of publication. Five identified studies with outcomes that relate only to multiple articles of the FCTC are not included in the table. All were excluded from full analysis. The table also demonstrates which articles of the FCTC the data collected for the Global Tobacco Surveillance System relate to, and the years in which these data were collected.Summary of studies identified by FCTC Article.
