Short-term Changes in Self-rating Depression Scale Scores after Smoking Cessation in Neurotic Patients.
Article in Internal medicine (Tokyo, Japan), 2021. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 10 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
Objective The psychological status is a key factor in smoking continuance. However, details on short-term changes in mild depressive states after smoking cessation (SC) are still unknown. The purpose of the present study was to investigate these short-term changes. Methods A total of 989 patients who visited our SC Clinic were assessed using the Zung Self-Rating-Depression-Scale (SDS), an official instrument to measure depressive tendencies. The participants were classified into normal and neurotic groups based on their SDS scores during their initial visit; they were assessed again 2, 4, 8, and 12 weeks thereafter. Results The majority of patients in the neurotic group were women. These patients were also younger, with a higher nicotine dependence, and presented with a lower successful SC rate than the patients in the normal group. A decrease in SDS scores after starting the SC treatment was observed only in the neurotic group, especially during the first two weeks. In patients who continued to smoke, no improvement in depressive tendencies was noted in this period. Conclusion Depressive tendencies of patients with neurosis improve in the initial stages of the SC treatment (i.e., within two weeks after starting the treatment). This finding fills the mentioned knowledge gap regarding the effects of SC on mild depressive states in the short term.
