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

backgroundTobacco smoking is a leading cause of global mortality, with cessation being the primary prevention strategy. Nicotine addiction has a genetic component; the rs503464 single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) in the

methods270 smokers were enrolled and randomized into two groups: informed and uninformed of their rs503464 genotype. All participants received standard pharmacological-behavioral interventions. Cessation rates were assessed at 1, 3, 6, and 12 months. Multivariable logistic regression models analyzed the effect of knowing the rs503464 genotype and other variables on cessation success.

resultsAmong the 219 subjects who started prescribed smoking cessation medication, no significant differences in cessation rates were observed between participants informed or not informed of their rs503464 genotype at any follow-up point (P > 0.05). Male gender and higher baseline carbon monoxide levels were associated with lower success rates at three months. The medications used were equally effective.

conclusionsCommunication of the rs503464 genotype did not influence smoking cessation success, proving that it does not disturb this process. This result opens the possibility of using genetic information to personalize anti-smoking treatment.
