Smoking relapse reasons among current smokers with previous cessation experience in Shanghai: A cross-sectional study.
Article in Tobacco induced diseases, 2023. 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
introductionQuitting smoking can lead to substantial health gains, even later in life. Many smokers who attempt to quit experience several relapses before achieving sustainable cessation. This study aims to ascertain the differences between quitters with short and long abstinence time and to explore relapse reasons among smokers with cessation experience in Shanghai.
methodsFrom January to December 2022, 1745 current smokers were recruited in Minhang, Jiading, Qingpu and Songjiang districts of Shanghai. We used an electronic questionnaire to collect data. We implemented logistic regression for odds ratio (OR) and 95% confidence interval (CI) calculation to explore factors associated with long cessation time among smokers with cessation experience of ≥3 months, ≥6 months, and ≥12 months.
resultsOf the 1745 smokers included, 1452 (83.2%) were males, with an average age of 44.2 years, and 48.0% (838/1745) had cessation experience but relapsed. Logistic regression indicated that smokers aged ≥45 years had a longer cessation duration (adjusted odds ratio, AOR=3.10; 95% CI: 1.97-4.88). Moreover, longer cessation duration among smokers was positively associated with low education level of junior high or lower (AOR=2.30; 95% CI: 1.42-3.72) and senior high (AOR=2.19; 95% CI: 1.53-3.15), older age at first tobacco smoking (AOR=1.62; 95% CI: 1.1.16-2.25), but was negatively associated with longer smoking duration (AOR=0.67; 95% CI: 0.43-0.00) and higher smoking burden (AOR=0.44; 95% CI: 0.28-0.72). The main reasons for cessation relapse were social interaction needs (34.5%) and discomfort due to abstinence (29.1%).
conclusionsThe relapse rate was high among smokers even after 12 months of abstinence. Smokers with older age, lower education level, shorter smoking duration and lower tobacco burden had longer cessation duration. Social interaction needs and withdrawal symptoms were the main relapse reasons. It is highly recommended that health bureaux consistently conduct tobacco control initiatives to spread awareness about the detrimental effects of tobacco smoke and the advantages of quitting smoking, even after achieving cessation.
