Effect of smoking and smoking cessation on hematological parameters in polycythemic patients.
Article in Open medicine (Warsaw, Poland), 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 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
Background: The number of studies on the effect of smoking cessation interventions in polycythemic patients is limited. Our aim was to examine the effects of quitting smoking on hematological parameters in patients with polycythemia and to evaluate the outcomes of smoking cessation interventions in polycythemic patients. Methods: The prospective study was conducted in the hematology outpatient clinic between November 2022 and May 2023. Patients with polycythemia were grouped according to their smoking status. Smoking cessation interventions were applied to current smokers. Blood parameters were compared according to smoking status at the baseline and third month follow up. Results: At first presentation, 65.4% ( Conclusions: Of the patients with polycythemia, 65% were current smokers and about half of them were successful in quitting smoking at 3 months with effective implementation of smoking cessation interventions.
