Harmful health effects of cigarette smoking.
Review in Molecular and cellular biochemistry, 2003. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 48 papers, 3 of them syntheses that pooled 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.
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
This is a comprehensive review on the harmful health effects of cigarette smoking. Tobacco smoking is a reprehensible habit that has spread all over the world as an epidemic. It reduces the life expectancy among smokers. It increases overall medical costs and contributes to the loss of productivity during the life span. Smoking has been shown to be linked with various neurological, cardiovascular, and pulmonary diseases. Cigarette smoke not only affects the smokers but also contributes to the health problems of the non-smokers. Exposure to environmental tobacco smoke contributes to health problems in children and is a significant risk factor for asthma. Cigarette smoke contains several carcinogens that alter biochemical defense systems leading to lung cancer.
