Smoking predicts brain atrophy in 10,134 healthy individuals and is potentially influenced by body mass index.
Article in NPJ dementia, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 5 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
Cigarette smoking is a risk factor for Alzheimer's and vascular dementia, but its impact on brain volume loss, a neurodegeneration biomarker on MRI, is unclear. In total, 10,134 participants from 4 sites were scanned with a whole-body 1.5 T MRI protocol with separate dedicated structural neuroimaging with 3D T1 MPRAGE sequences. Smokers versus non-smokers were compared by gray and white matter volumes normalized to total intracranial volume using a two-tailed
