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.

Abstract

objectivePeople with serious mental illness die earlier than those without mental illness, largely from cardiovascular disease due to high rates of smoking and obesity. The objective of this study was to determine whether the metabolic effects of postcessation weight gain among smokers with serious mental illness attenuated the cardiovascular benefit of tobacco abstinence.

methodA subgroup analysis was conducted of 65 outpatient smokers with DSM-IV diagnosis of schizophrenia, schizoaffective disorder, or bipolar disorder from 10 community mental health centers in 6 states who enrolled between March 2008-April 2012 and completed a trial of varenicline for tobacco abstinence. The intervention included a 12-week open-label phase with varenicline followed by a 40-week randomized, placebo-controlled phase in 87 participants who achieved 12-week abstinence. Main outcome measures were smoking status and change from baseline in weight and 10-year Framingham cardiovascular risk score at end of intervention (week 52).

resultsAt week 52, 65 participants completed follow-up (33 abstinent; 32 relapsed). At baseline, the 2 groups did not differ in body mass index (mean = 31 kg/m(2)), blood pressure, serum glucose, or diagnoses of diabetes (31%) and hypertension (34%). Abstinent participants were older and had a higher mean baseline Framingham risk score (14.2% vs 10.3%, P = .002). At week 52, abstinent participants gained more weight than relapsed participants (4.8 vs 1.2 kg, P = .048) and, as a result of quitting smoking, had a greater reduction in Framingham risk score (-7.6% vs 0.0%, P < .001). There was no effect of study drug assignment on weight or Framingham risk score.

conclusionsSustained tobacco abstinence reduced 10-year cardiovascular risk in outpatients with serious mental illness despite significant postcessation weight gain and high prevalence of obesity, diabetes, and hypertension.
