The experience of continued smoking after stroke in Korean males: A qualitative study.
Article in Nursing open, 2021. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 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
aimThis study aimed to identify the nature and meaning of continued smoking in male stroke patients based on a deep understanding of their lived experiences.
designPhenomenological qualitative methodology.
methodsIn total, 10 male stroke patients participated in this study. We used purposive sampling for recruitment. Data collection was performed through in-depth interviews and analysis through van Manen's methodology.
resultsFive essential themes were derived from the analyses and described participants' experiences with continued smoking, as follows: "Natural relapse into smoking," "Behaving like a healthy person," "Believing that smoking will not be a problem," "Finding consolation in smoking behaviour," and "Consoling oneself by the rationalization of smoking behaviour."
conclusionThe results showcased the need for the development of a smoking cessation educational programme tailored for male stroke patients who have perceptions towards being "like healthy people" after early recovery and who think that smoking is not a problematic behaviour. Participants' reports underpinned the necessity for these programmes to have contents focused on the transformation of patients' awareness toward their own health status.
