1 · What the graph read from it

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.

2 · The registry

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

Significance There are sex effects in abstinence outcomes across all smoking cessation medications, but there is limited information regarding sex effects on cessation-related neuropsychiatric adverse events (NPSAEs) or interactions with psychiatric status.

methodsSecondary analysis of data from EAGLES of 8144 adults who smoke cigarettes randomized to varenicline, bupropion, nicotine patch or placebo. Design characteristics included region (within/outside US), psychiatric cohort (absent/present), and treatment. Baseline variables included demographics, smoking history, prior use of study treatments, lifetime suicide-related history, and prior psychiatric co-morbidities and medication use. Design characteristics were forced into logistic regressions models, and then interactions among sex, design elements, and baseline characteristics were evaluated for NPSAEs and 6-month cessation outcomes.

resultsFindings demonstrated a significant interaction of sex and race (

conclusionsOverall, results demonstrated important sex and racial differences in the incidence of NPSAEs, but psychiatric status did not interact with sex on cessation outcomes. Findings did support prior work demonstrating relative increased efficacy of varenicline for women.
