Tobacco-free campuses - a pipe dream? A survey of current smoking cessation practice in mental health units in Ireland.
Article in BJPsych bulletin, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
AIMS AND
methodSmoking and vaping are prohibited on Ireland's Health Service Executive (HSE) campuses. The HSE states that there is no evidence to suggest vaping is less damaging than cigarettes. Recent meta-analyses have shown that e-cigarettes are in fact less dangerous and can help smokers quit. Our study analyses the current smoking policies in place in mental health 'approved centres' in Ireland, what is being done to help smokers quit while in-patients and the level of support among staff for the introduction of e-cigarettes as a harm reduction tool. Clinical nurse managers from each mental health approved centre were surveyed to assess adherence to smoking policies.
resultsOnly 5% of surveyed units enforce the HSE's Tobacco Free Campus Policy; 55% of units supported the idea of using e-cigarettes to help patients quit cigarettes. CLINICAL IMPLICATIONS: Ireland's hospital campuses are not tobacco free. Changes need to be made to our smoking policies and their enforcement.
