The PubMed excerpt supplied for this rewrite did not include the abstract text or any substantive trial content beyond bibliographic and authorship details. Specifically, the following items were not reported in the provided source excerpt and therefore cannot be summarized here:
Because these critical methodological and outcome details are absent from the supplied PubMed excerpt, no assertions about the trial's effectiveness, magnitude of effect, or quality of evidence can be made from this source alone.
To evaluate the trial methods and findings, readers should retrieve the full text using the DOI (10.1016/j.ejca.2026.116898) or the PubMed record (PMID 42330568). The PubMed page indicates free full-text availability; follow the links on the PubMed entry to the publisher site or supplementary materials.

Until the full text is reviewed, clinicians and program planners should avoid inferring the campaign's effectiveness from the bibliographic record alone. The PubMed metadata provided here is useful for locating the complete report and for citation, but it does not substitute for the study abstract and full methods/results necessary for clinical or policy decision-making.
The PubMed record documents a cluster-randomized trial of the Smokerface poster campaign targeting adolescent smoking prevention and provides full bibliographic details including PMID and DOI. The source excerpt used for this rewrite does not include the abstract or trial findings; therefore, no study outcomes or methodological specifics can be reported here.
