Symptoms of depression and active smoking among survivors of stroke and myocardial infarction: An NHANES analysis.
Article in Preventive medicine, 2020. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 22 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
Historic concerns about the cardiovascular and neuropsychiatric side effects of smoking-cessation pharmacotherapy have in part limited their use. We sought to evaluate whether depressive symptoms are associated with active smoking among survivors of stroke and myocardial infarction (MI). To do this, we performed a cross-sectional analysis using data from the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (2005-2016). We included participants ≥20 years old with prior stroke or MI and any history of smoking. Symptoms of depression, at survey participation, were ascertained using the Patient Health Questionnaire-9. Active smoking was defined using self-report and, secondarily, with cotinine measures. We used logistic regression to evaluate the association between depression and active smoking after adjusting for demographics, smoking-related medical conditions, and health-related behaviors. We found that, among stroke and MI survivors with any history of smoking, 37.9% (95% CI, 34.5-41.3%) reported active smoking and 43.8% (95% CI, 40.3-47.3%) had biochemical evidence of smoking. Rates of active smoking were similar for stroke and MI survivors. Twenty-one percent screened positive for depression. In adjusted models, depression was associated with active smoking in the combined group of stroke and MI survivors (odds ratio, 2.28; 95% CI, 1.24-4.20) and in stroke survivors (odds ratio, 2.97; 95% CI, 1.20-7.38). Tests of heterogeneity by event type did not reveal an interaction. Findings were similar when using cotinine measures. We conclude that symptoms of depression were associated with active smoking among stroke and MI survivors. Stroke and MI survivors with symptoms of depression may require targeted smoking-cessation interventions.
