Association between persistent smoking after a diagnosis of heart failure and adverse health outcomes: A systematic review and meta-analysis.
Review in Tobacco induced diseases, 2020. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 16 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
introductionHeart failure (HF) is associated with increased mortality worldwide. Adverse health outcomes in HF are commonly attributed to poor adherence to self-care, including smoking cessation. Smoking is the major modifiable risk factor for HF. Patients have been observed to continue smoking even after diagnosis with HF. Despite the possible association between persistent smoking and adverse health outcomes among HF populations, no consensus has been reached. We aimed to review the literature to determine the association between smoking status after HF diagnosis and adverse health outcomes.
methodsA systematic literature search was performed in PubMed, PsycINFO, Web of Science, and Embase. Hand searching was also performed. In total, 9 articles (n=70461) were included in the review for meta-analysis, including seven cohort studies and two cross-sectional studies. Quality was assessed using the modified version of the Newcastle-Ottawa Scale.
resultsApproximately 16% of HF patients continued smoking after HF diagnosis. Persistent smoking increased the hazard ratio (HR) of mortality by 38.4% (HR=1.384; 95% CI: 1.139-1.681) and readmission by 44.8% (HR=1.448; 95% CI: 1.086-1.930). Our review also found that persistent smoking was associated with poor health status, ventricular tachycardia, and arterial stiffness.
conclusionsThis review highlights the importance of assessment for any history of smoking before and after HF diagnosis. There is a need for smoking cessation programs to be established as crucial components of care for patients with HF. More studies are needed to investigate the possible mechanisms underlying relations among smoking patterns and health consequences.
