1 · What the graph read from it

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.

2 · The registry

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

Based on a critical review of the literature, we assess the consequences of restrictive smoking policies at the worksite on smoking habits of active smokers. The majority of the fourteen studies reported to date (eleven studies from the United States, one study from Canada, one from Australia and one from the FRG) suggest that restrictive smoking policies might have a major impact on reduction of cigarette smoking and eventual smoking cessation of active smokers. However, most of the studies suffer from serious methodologic limitations, and more stringent scientific investigations should be carried out. Nevertheless, implementation of restrictive smoking policies at the worksite appears to be a reasonable measure of nonsmoker protection, even before definitive evaluation of the impact on smoking behavior of active smokers. Such implementation should take place without discrimination of smokers in the context of comprehensive worksite prevention programs and should be accompanied by thorough scientific evaluation.
