Acute changes in haematological parameters on cessation of smoking.
Article in Journal of the Royal Society of Medicine, 1992. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 10 papers.
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
Cigarette smoking is known to affect many haematological parameters but little is known of their rate of return to normal on withdrawal of cigarettes. Two groups of chronic smokers were studied whilst smoking and in the 2 weeks after cessation. A rapid return towards normal was found in the elevated haemoglobin concentration, packed cell volume, red cell count, white cell count, neutrophil count, lymphocyte count and platelet count, indicating that at least some of the abnormalities in these parameters are an acute, reversible effect of cigarette smoking rather than being a response to tissue damage.
