Tobacco dependence support during and following an acute mental health inpatient admission: A cross-sectional survey of care provision in England.
Article in Tobacco prevention & cessation, 2026. 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
introductionAlthough significant efforts have been made to promote smoking cessation, people with mental health conditions continue to be more likely to smoke and to consume more tobacco than those without mental illness. This survey aimed to describe the provision of tobacco dependence support offered during admission and following discharge from NHS acute adult mental health wards across England.
methodsA cross-sectional online descriptive questionnaire survey was conducted between August and September 2024 in National Health Service (NHS) Mental Health Trusts in England. Questions included identifying the Trust and role of the person responding, and characteristics of tobacco dependence support offered to patients when admitted to acute mental health wards and at discharge.
resultsOf the 50 Trusts approached, a response rate of 44% (n=22) was achieved. Almost all of the respondent Trusts reported offering behavioral support (n=22; 100%), nicotine replacement therapy (n=21; 95.45%), and e-cigarettes (n=21; 95.45%) during participants' time in hospital. Tobacco dependence support offered post-discharge was reported to be in place less frequently (n=13; 59.09%); variations in the duration of support were reported. Tobacco dependence support was delivered by healthcare professionals who had completed National Centre for Smoking Cessation and Training (NCSCT) Practitioner training in all Trusts, with most Trusts also offering the NCSCT specialist Mental Health module training and/or in-house training.
conclusionsInpatient tobacco dependence support within NHS mental health settings in England is relatively consistent; however, post-discharge care varies, presenting an opportunity to enhance smoking cessation outcomes.
