Medications Development for the Treatment of Nicotine Dependence in Individuals with Schizophrenia.
Article in Journal of dual diagnosis, 2007. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 4 papers, 1 of them a synthesis 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
The development of medications for the treatment of nicotine dependence in patients with schizophrenia is a public health priority due to its high prevalence rates, devastating medical consequences, and difficulty to treat. It has been hypothesized that the high prevalence of nicotine dependence among patients with schizophrenia may be due to a shared neurobiological vulnerability. This shared vulnerability has been evidenced in reports showing that nicotine improves neuropsychological deficits associated with schizophrenia such as in the P50 evoked auditory potentials, spatial working memory, and attention. The common pathophysiologic pathways of smoking and schizophrenia may serve as the basis for the pharmacological evaluation of medications for the treatment of these concurrent disorders. Currently, little research of medications for the treatment of this comorbidity has been conducted. Studies have evaluated the efficacy of smoking cessation medications in patients with schizophrenia. These include the nicotine replacement therapy (patch, nasal spray) and sustained release bupropion. Others have evaluated the anti-smoking effect of medications (e.g., clozapine, haloperidol) used for the treatment of schizophrenia. In both cases, the results have not been conclusive. Newer smoking cessation approaches such as varenicline, selegiline, rimonabant, and nicotine vaccine, among others, have yet to be tested in this population. The purpose of this article is to review the results of the studies conducted to date and propose some potential pharmacotherapies based on the current knowledge of the pathophysiology of both disorders.
