Long-Term Effects of Smoking Cessation on Depressive Symptoms, Resilience, Coping Skills, and Serotonin.
Trial report in The Psychiatric quarterly, 2020. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 6 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled 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.
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
There are many studies on how smoking cigarettes is harmful to health, but research on how smoking cessation improves mental health is insufficient. The purpose of this study was to examine long-term effects of smoking cessation on depressive symptoms, resilience, coping skills, and serotonin levels in Korean adults. This was a longitudinal study that followed up on periodically participants for 2 years after the initial smoking cessation intervention. A total of 164 smokers participated within this study. Of these, 15 maintained smoking cessation for 504.93 ± 182.82 days. On the other hand, 148 participants failed to maintain smoking cessation. Depressive symptoms decreased and resilience increased significantly over 2 years in the 15 abstainers. Smoking cessation, in total, decreased depressive symptoms by 32.9% (p = .015) and also increased resilience by 37.5% (p = .012). Smoking cessation also explained for 9% of total positive interpretation at the 1-year follow-up, and 7.3% of total self-criticism at the 2-year follow-up. Serum serotonin did not change over the course of 2 years in both abstainers and smokers but did decrease in the short-term for those who maintained smoking cessation. Platelet serotonin increased over 6 months among smokers.
