Effects of preoperative current smoking on chronic postsurgical pain in thoracic surgery: a retrospective cohort study.
Article in American journal of translational research, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
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
objectiveThis study aimed to investigate the effect of preoperative current smoking on chronic postsurgical pain in patients who underwent thoracic surgery.
methodsA total of 5,395 patients aged over 18 years old who underwent thoracic surgery from January 2016 to March 2020 in Henan Provincial People's Hospital were enrolled. Patients were divided into two groups: the smoking group (SG group) and the nonsmoking group (NSG group). Propensity score matching was utilized to eliminate the influence of confounding factors, and a multivariable logistic regression model was established to determine the effect of preoperative current smoking on chronic postsurgical pain. The dose-response relationship between the smoking index (SI) and chronic postsurgical pain at rest was analyzed using a restricted cubic spline curve.
resultsIn a matched cohort of 1028 patients, the incidence of chronic pain at rest was 13.2% in the smoking group and 19.0% in the nonsmoking group (P = 0.011). Three different models were used to verify the stability of the model between preoperative current smoking and chronic postsurgical pain. A regression model was established to determine the influence of different smoking indexes (SIs) on chronic postsurgical pain. The incidence of chronic pain at rest was lower in patients with SI ≥400 before thoracic surgery than in patients whose SI was less than 400.
conclusionsA relationship between the preoperative current smoking index and chronic postsurgical pain at rest was observed. The incidence of chronic postsurgical pain at rest was lower in patients whose SI was greater than 400.
