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
backgroundTobacco smoking is associated with several diseases and deaths in older Koreans. This study aimed to evaluate the factors associated with smoking cessation in older Koreans.
methodsWe selected 579 subjects who started smoking before the age of 65 years from the Korea National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey 2016-2018. We excluded the subjects who quit smoking before the age of 65 years, and then categorized the rest of subjects into those who stopped smoking after the age of 65 years and those who are constant smokers. Multivariable logistic analysis was performed to evaluate the factors related to smoking cessation among older Koreans.
resultsAmong the participants, 66.1% were persistent smokers. After multivariable analysis, the factors significantly associated with smoking cessation were as follows: being in the age group of 75-79 years (adjusted odds ratio [aOR], 4.07; 95% confidence interval [CI], 2.12-7.83), being in the age group of 70-74 years (aOR, 3.10; 95% CI, 1.72-5.61), a family history of ischemic heart disease (aOR, 3.36; 95% CI, 1.09-10.35), and having had no cancer screening (aOR, 0.36; 95% CI, 0.18-0.70).
conclusionFurther efforts to identify the factors related to smoking cessation will help formulate a smoking cessation policy.
