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

Regular tobacco smoking occurs in about 35% of the male and 25% of the female German population. Individual attempts to independently quit smoking and to remain abstinent for 1 year have been shown to be successful in less than 5% of cases. This rate can be doubled by means of individual consulting and cognitive-behavioral interventions and additional pharmacological treatment might increase abstinence rates up to 25%. Apart from nicotine substitution (e.g. transdermal, oral and inhalative applications) and bupropion, recent studies have shown beneficial effects of varenicline for smoking cessation and abstinence. Varenicline, a selective partial nicotinergic agonist, has been specifically developed for the purpose of smoking cessation. Currently available data suggest that varenicline is more effective compared to nicotine substitution therapy and bupropion, increasing the abstinence likelihood by a factor of 2.3 compared to a placebo. Recent data regarding anti-nicotine vaccines suggest that this approach might yield a comparable treatment outcome and probably even better relapse-preventing effects than conventional psychopharmacological strategies. The first anti-nicotine vaccines are expected to be approved by national authorities within the forthcoming 1-2 years.
