A survey of the prevalence of smoking and smoking cessation advice received by inpatients in a large teaching hospital in Ireland.
Article in Irish journal of medical science, 2012. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. It is linked to trial NCT02601599 (Medical Student INtervention to Promote Effective Nicotine Dependence and Tobacco HEalthcare), which is not on this map. Cited by 2 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.

Abstract
backgroundThe adverse effects of smoking are well documented and it is crucial that this modifiable risk factor is addressed routinely. Professional advice can be effective at reducing smoking amongst patients, yet it is not clear if all hospital in-patient smokers receive advice to quit.
aimsTo explore smoking prevalence amongst hospital in-patients and smoking cessation advice given by health professionals in a large university teaching hospital.
methodsInterviews were carried out over 2 weeks in February 2011 with all eligible in-patients in Beaumont Hospital.
resultsOf the 205 patients who completed the survey, 61% stated they had been asked about smoking by a healthcare professional in the past year. Only 44% of current/recent smokers stated they had received smoking cessation advice from a health professional within the same timeframe.
conclusionsInterventions to increase rates of healthcare professional-provided smoking cessation advice are urgently needed.
