Estimated treatment effect of framing on click-through behavior, and estimated treatment effects conditional on gender, regional party affiliation, and regional smoky days. The estimated effect is the change in the log odds of click-through behavior (CTB). Logistic regression estimation. Dependent variable is the CTB. The odds of CTB can be measured as CTR/(1-CTR), where CTR is the click-through rate. 95% confidence intervals in brackets. * p < 0.05, ** p < 0.01, *** p < 0.001
