Practice Current: Variability in Smoking Cessation Intervention Practice Patterns After Ischemic Stroke and Transient Ischemic Attack.
Article in Neurology. Clinical practice, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 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
People who continue to smoke after ischemic stroke and transient ischemic attack (TIA) are at increased risk for subsequent stroke and cardiovascular events. Although effective smoking cessation strategies exist, smoking rates after stroke remain high. Through case-based discussions with 3 international vascular neurology panelists, this article seeks to explore practice patterns and barriers to smoking cessation for patients with stroke/TIA. We sought to answer these questions: What are the barriers to using smoking cessation interventions for patients with stroke/TIA? Which interventions are most used for hospitalized patients with stroke/TIA? Which interventions are most used for patients who continue smoking during follow-up? Our synthesis of panelists' commentaries is complemented by the preliminary results of an online survey posed to global readership. Together, the interviews and survey results identify practice variability and barriers to smoking cessation after stroke/TIA, suggesting that there is substantial need for research and standardization.
