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 about this topic?: In 2018, the current and daily smoking prevalence among Chinese adults aged ≥15 years were 26.6% and 23.2%, respectively. What is added by this report?: In 2024, China's smoking prevalence among adults aged ≥15 years was 23.2% (current) and 20.3% (daily), with current smokers averaging 15.8 cigarettes/day and daily smokers initiating daily smoking at 22.4 years. Slim cigarette use accounted for 32.9% of current smokers. What are the implications for public health practice?: Sustained reduction in tobacco use requires multifaceted interventions and rigorous controls on tobacco industry tactics that disseminate deceptive marketing of purported harm-reduction products.
