Efficacy of Inpatient, Evidence-Based Tobacco Use Treatment of Patients With Bladder Cancer After Radical Cystectomy.
Article in Clinical genitourinary cancer, 2025. 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
purposeDespite a 3-fold increase in risks of bladder cancer (BC) among current smokers, smoking cessation therapy for patients undergoing treatment is significantly underutilized. Inpatient admission after surgery provides a teachable moment to pursue tobacco treatment. We conducted a 12-month prospective quality improvement initiative to increase tobacco treatment program (TTP) consultations with BC patients who smoke and underwent radical cystectomy (RC). MATERIALS AND
methodsFrom 6/2022 to 6/2023, patients admitted after RC for BC who were identified to be current smokers were referred to our institution's inpatient TTP. A baseline standardized assessment of tobacco dependence was conducted postoperatively, and nicotine replacement therapy (NRT) was prescribed both inpatient and upon discharge. Study endpoints included the percentage of patients receiving inpatient TTP consultation, inpatient and 1-month NRT prescription fill rates, tobacco usage, cessation rates, quit attempts, and patient and provider satisfaction. Postintervention outcomes were compared to historical controls.
resultsOf the 16 inpatients (of 63 RCs) who smoked and received a TTP referral, 15 accepted. Referrals to TTP increased from 20% at baseline to 100% after implementation of the intervention (P = .01). NRT was prescribed for 40% of inpatients, and 60% of patients filled NRT after discharge. At 1-month follow-up, a significant decrease occurred in cigarette use (12.6 cigarettes/day to 6.8 cigarettes/day; P = .001). The majority, 86%, reported attempts to quit, and 29% reported that they successfully quit smoking. Patients reported high levels of stress reduction, confidence to quit, desire to quit, and willingness to use NRT. Most (83%) providers were very satisfied with the TTP and felt recommendations were easy to implement.
conclusionsThis study successfully increased the use of inpatient TTP in patients with BC who smoked and were undergoing RC. The positive outcomes, including high acceptability among patients, increased rates of TTP consultations, reduced cigarette usage postintervention, and notable satisfaction among healthcare providers, suggest that these strategies can be readily adopted by urologic care teams.
