Educational inequalities and residence-based decomposition in smoking behavior.
Article in Scientific reports, 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
Understanding education-related smoking inequalities and their contributors is crucial for identifying the social determinants of health and designing targeted interventions to reduce disparities. The objectives are to identify inequalities across Türkiye and determine the factors contributing to these inequalities between urban and rural areas. To achieve the aim of the study, Global Adult Tobacco Survey Turkey datasets were employed from 2002 to 2016. The Concentration Index, a suitable technique for measuring health inequalities was used. Additionally, Oaxaca-type Decomposition approach was used to understand how the social factors affect education- related smoking inequalities by urbanicity among adults. The analysis revealed pro-educated smoking inequalities in Türkiye, with smoking disproportionately concentrated among higher-educated individuals. The Oaxaca-Blinder decomposition further showed that rural-urban differences in these education-related inequalities were driven by variations in age, employment status, and gender. These findings highlight the need for targeted public health interventions addressing both structural and behavioural factors to reduce smoking inequalities and promote equitable health outcomes in Türkiye.
