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

What is already known on this topic?: Smoking is the primary risk factor for a poor prognosis in chronic respiratory disease (CRD). Current tobacco surveillance efforts in China focus on the general population and do not adequately cover CRD patients. What is added by this report?: We employed electronic medical records (EMR) to track smoking habits in 28,334 hospitalized CRD patients at Beijing Chao-Yang Hospital. The rates of former and current smokers were 30.7% and 18.0%, respectively. Both former and current smokers exhibited an increased risk of respiratory symptoms and extended hospital stays. What are the implications for public health practice?: These results underscore the importance of implementing smoking monitoring and targeted cessation interventions for hospitalized patients with CRDs.
