Smoking Is an Independent Risk Factor of Reoperation Due to Recurrent Lumbar Disc Herniation.
Article in Global spine journal, 2018. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 18 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
STUDY
designRetrospective cohort study.
objectivesThe purpose of the present study is to determine if age, gender, smoking status, and body mass index (BMI) are significant risk factors of symptomatic recurrent lumbar disc herniation (rLDH) leading to reoperation.
methodsA cohort of 1378 consecutive patients who underwent discectomy for LDH from June 2010 to January 2015 at our institution were included. Patients who underwent reoperation due to rLDH prior to August 2015 were identified. Data on reoperations, age, gender, smoking status, and BMI were collected from our database. A comparison of age, gender, smoking status, and BMI was made between the controls (non-rLDH) and the cases (rLDH group). Binary logistic regression was performed to determine whether age, gender, smoking status, and BMI were independent risk factors for rLDH.
resultsPatients in the non-rLDH group (48.2 years) were older than the rLDH group (44.7 years;
conclusionsNeither age, BMI, nor gender had any statistical significant association with the risk of rLDH. Smoking was associated with higher risk of reoperation due to rLDH.
