Smoking and weight loss among smokers with overweight and obesity in Look AHEAD.
Article in Health psychology : official journal of the Division of Health Psychology, American Psychological Association, 2018. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 17 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
Smoking cessation is associated with increases in body weight, but little is known about the relationship between participation in a weight loss intervention and smoking.
objectiveTo determine whether (a) weight losses at 1 year differ as a function of baseline smoking status (never smoker, current smoker, ex-smoker) and (b) participation in a weight loss intervention affects smoking behavior.
methodThis analysis addressed these questions using the publicly available database from Look AHEAD, a randomized trial comparing intensive lifestyle intervention (ILI) and diabetes support and education (DSE; control condition) among individuals with overweight/obesity and Type 2 diabetes, and included 4,387 participants who had self-reported smoking and objective weight measures available at baseline and at 1 year.
resultsAlthough participants in ILI lost a significantly greater percentage of weight than those in DSE at 1 year (ILI, M = -8.8%, SD = 6.8; DSE, M = -0.7%, SD = 4.7), there were no differences in weight loss outcomes between never smokers (n = 2,297), ex-smokers (n = 2,115), and current smokers (n = 188) within either condition. Participation in ILI was not associated with compensatory smoking or likelihood of quitting smoking or relapsing.
conclusionsSmokers in a weight loss intervention had reductions in weight that were comparable to individuals who did not smoke without any evidence of compensatory smoking to manage eating and appetite. Smokers with obesity should be encouraged to pursue weight loss without concerns regarding the impact on smoking behavior. (PsycINFO Database Record
