Socioeconomic inequalities in current daily smoking in five Turkish regions.
Article in International journal of public health, 2014. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 8 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
objectivesTo assess whether socioeconomic inequalities in smoking in five regions across in Turkey have the same pattern as observed in southern Europe.
methodsCross-sectional data of the World Health Survey 2002 from Turkey were analyzed (5,951 women and 4,456 men) to evaluate the association of smoking with wealth and education. Age-standardized prevalence rates and odds ratios were calculated separately by sex, region and age groups.
resultsSmoking prevalence was 16.7 % for women and 51.4 % for men. Smoking risk was increased in higher wealth and education groups among women in all regions and for both younger and older generations. In the East, Middle and Black Sea regions this female pattern was most pronounced. For men, smoking was less prevalent in the two highest wealth groups. Unlike among women, socioeconomic differences in smoking were approximately equally large in all regions.
conclusionsPatterns of inequalities in smoking across the five regions strongly resemble those observed in southern Europe. This fits the patterns predicted by the smoking epidemic model. Particular attention should be given to highly educated women, who may perceive smoking as a symbol of modernity, emancipation and independence.
