Impact of a Medical Diagnosis on Decision to Stop Smoking and Successful Smoking Cessation.
Article in Chronic obstructive pulmonary diseases (Miami, Fla.), 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
introductionSmoking cessation counseling is a central part of the Medicare guidelines for lung cancer screening. With increasing age, many heavy smokers eventually stop smoking, however, factors influencing the decision to stop smoking are poorly understood. We postulated that declining health or physician-diagnosis of a medical condition may be associated with successful smoking cessation.
methodsA total of 4448 current and former smokers in Phase 2 of the COPD Genetic Epidemiology (COPDGene®) study answered a question about reasons for stopping smoking. Participants were classified as
resultsThe most common factors cited for a quit attempt by all respondents were medical diagnoses (48%), followed by social factors (47%), and respiratory symptoms (36%).
conclusionsMedical diagnosis was the most common factor cited for considering a quit attempt by both successful and unsuccessful quitters; however, successful quitting was influenced by demographic factors and potentially the severity of nicotine dependence.
