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
introductionGiven the shared risk profiles and interdependence of smoking and drinking behaviors, this study aimed to examine factors associated with smoking and alcohol consumption among older adult Korean men.
methodsThis was a secondary cross-sectional analysis of data pooled from the Korea National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (KNHANES) conducted between 2007 and 2019, encompassing 7259 men aged ≥65 years. The participants were divided into the non-smoking/non-drinking, smoking/non-drinking, non-smoking/drinking, and smoking/drinking groups, and the sociodemographic and various health-related data collected via questionnaires and blood tests were used for multinomial logistic regression.
resultsWhen examining factors associated with each group using the non-smoking/non-drinking group as the reference group, several associated factors were identified. For example, not participating in regular exercise (AOR=1.31; 95% CI: 1.06-1.61; p=0.011), perceived health status as poor/very poor (AOR=1.56; 95% CI: 1.21-2.00; p<0.001), and skipping breakfast (AOR=1.90; 95% CI: 1.22-2.98; p=0.005) were some of the factors positively associated with the smoking/non-drinking group. Conversely BMI ≥25 (AOR=1.44; 95% CI: 1.12-1.83; p=0.004), elevated triglyceride levels (AOR=1.03; 95% CI: 1.03-1.05; p<0.001), and more daily fat intake (AOR=1.20; 95% CI: 1.03-1.40; p=0.019) were positively associated with the non-smoking/drinking group. Higher triglyceride levels (AOR=1.03; 95% CI: 1.01-1.05; p<0.001), depressive mood (AOR=2.10; 95% CI: 1.20-3.67; p=0.009), and more daily fat intake (AOR=1. 27; 95% CI: 1.07-1.51; p=0.007) were positively associated with the smoking/drinking group.
conclusionsMetabolic changes, such as higher triglyceride levels, were more common in the drinking groups, whereas negative emotions were more prevalent among smokers. These findings may highlight the need for targeted interventions to promote healthier lifestyles among older adults; however, further research is necessary to revalidate our study findings.
