The Impact of Adverse Childhood Experiences on Nicotine Withdrawal Symptoms.
Article in International journal of mental health and addiction, 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
Adverse childhood experiences (ACEs) are a significant predictor of various physical and psychological problems in adulthood. This secondary analysis of a randomized smoking cessation trial examined the association between ACEs and the severity of nicotine withdrawal during smoking cessation. ACEs were assessed at baseline using a 10-item questionnaire, while nicotine withdrawal symptoms were measured weekly with the Minnesota Nicotine Withdrawal Scale (MNWS). No overall association was found between ACEs and MNWS craving scores across the entire sample. However, significant associations were observed when stratifying by smoking reduction versus cessation. Among those who reduced smoking, each additional ACE was linked to a 3% higher MNWS craving score. In contrast, among those who quit smoking, each additional ACE was associated with an 8% lower craving score. These findings suggest that resilience factors may influence the relationship between ACEs and tobacco dependence, warranting further investigation to improve cessation outcomes.
