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
introductionSmoking and alcohol consumption are two harmful yet socially accepted habits in Poland. The main focus of this study was to assess patterns of tobacco and alcohol consumption in Polish transplant patients.
methodsA survey was conducted between June and November 2023 at a transplantation center in Poland. The participants in the study were kidney, liver, or pancreas transplant recipients (aged 19-81 years). A structured questionnaire was applied to assess self-reported use of tobacco and alcohol in the pre-transplantation (pre-tx) and post-transplantation (post-tx) periods.
resultsData from 215 eligible transplant recipients were analyzed. The median age was 51 years (IQR: 38.5-60.5), and 56.7% of the patients were male. Most patients (79.1%) received a kidney transplant, 20.5% a liver transplant, and 5.6% a pancreas transplant. In this cohort, tobacco use decreased by 33.7% and alcohol use decreased by 40.5% post-tx compared to pre-tx. Regarding cigarette smoking, 92% of post-tx patients did not smoke at all (vs 81.1% pre-tx). The use of e-cigarettes or heated tobacco remained relatively unchanged, with abstinence declared by 91.5% pre-tx versus 93.9% post-tx (p=0.351). When asked about alcohol consumption within the last year, 67.6% of respondents indicated that they did not consume alcohol at all (vs 50.2% pre-tx), and 26.3% had occasionally consumed alcohol (vs 40% pre-tx). More than half of the participants reported no change in their tobacco and alcohol consumption patterns (65.4% and 57.1%, respectively).
conclusionsThe results of our study indicated a decrease in the use of traditional tobacco products and alcohol following transplantation. However, the use of e-cigarettes or heated tobacco remains stable and should be further examined. Therefore, it is important to develop targeted interventions to support tobacco and alcohol cessation among transplant patients.
