Smoking, Sociodemographic Characteristics, and Health History among Adults with Mental Illness in Puerto Rico.
Article in Puerto Rico health sciences journal, 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
objectiveIn Puerto Rico, two in ten adults aged 18 to 64 (18.7%) are diagnosed with a mental illness (MI), such as schizophrenia, bipolar disorder, and major depressive disorder. People with MI diagnosis report higher frequencies of chronic diseases (e.g., diabetes, cancer, heart diseases) and cigarette smoking than the general population. This study explores associations between smoking, sociodemographic characteristics and health history (i.e. chronic diseases and MI diagnosis) among adults with a MI diagnosis in Puerto Rico.
methodsThis cross-sectional study includes data from 285 Puerto Rican adults (> 21 years) with a MI diagnosis receiving psychiatric or psychological treatment in a community healthcare facility between May 2017 to May 2020. Chi-square tests evaluated the associations between smoking and sociodemographic characteristics, chronic diseases and MI diagnosis. Multiple logistic regression explained the relationship between smoking, sociodemographic characteristics, and MI diagnosis.
resultsA total of 25.3% (n=72) of participants reported current smoking. Significant associations were found between smoking with sociodemographic characteristics and MI diagnosis among Puerto Ricans diagnosed with MI. The logistic regression model explained 18.9% of the variance in smoking and classified 76.1% of cases.
conclusionResults confirm high prevalence rates of current smoking and the potential impact on health among Puerto Ricans with MI diagnosis. Tailored treatments for smoking cessation for Puerto Ricans living with MI are needed.
