Cigarette smoking among adults with mobility impairments: a US population-based survey.
Article in American 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 12 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
objectivesSmokers with mobility impairments have greater health risks than the general population. We report the prevalence of cigarette smoking and quit attempts among people with mobility impairments.
methodsWe conducted an analysis of 13,308 adults (aged 21-85 years) with mobility impairments (special ambulatory equipment and difficulty walking 0.25 miles without equipment) responding to the National Health Interview Survey (2011).
resultsAmong 21- to 44-year-old adults with mobility impairments, 39.2% were smokers, compared with only 21.5% of adults without mobility impairments (odds ratio [OR]=1.64; 95% confidence interval [CI]=1.07, 2.52). Among 45- to 64-year-old adults with mobility impairments, 31.2% were smokers versus 20.7% without mobility impairments (OR=1.35; 95% CI=1.09, 1.68). Women aged 21 to 44 years with mobility impairments had the highest smoking prevalence (45.9%), exceeding same-aged women without mobility impairments(18.9%; OR=2.56; 95% CI=1.32, 4.97). Men with mobility impairments had greater smoking prevalence (24.1%) than women with mobility impairments (15.1%; P<.01). Smokers with mobility impairments were less likely to attempt quitting (19.9%) than smokers without mobility impairments (27.3%; P<.01).
conclusionsSmokers with mobility impairments should be targeted for cessation, particularly those who are younger and female.
