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

introductionThis study aimed to evaluate smoking cessation status and factors associated with cessation among individuals aged ≤20 years who attended a smoking cessation outpatient clinic during the first month of follow-up.

methodsThis was a single-center, descriptive study conducted among adolescents who applied to a Smoking Cessation Outpatient Clinic. Patients' sociodemographic characteristics and smoking histories were recorded, and nicotine dependence was assessed using the Fagerström test for nicotine dependence (FTND). Statistical analyses included descriptive statistics, group comparisons using appropriate parametric or nonparametric tests, and multivariable logistic regression.

resultsA total of 229 adolescents were included. At one month, the overall cessation rate was 7.9% (n=18). At one month, adolescents who quit smoking had lower daily cigarette consumption and lower nicotine dependence scores. In multivariable analysis, only the FTND score remained independently associated with cessation (AOR=0.807; 95% CI: 0.660-0.987).

conclusionsAmong Turkish adolescents seeking smoking cessation support, lower nicotine dependence was the primary predictor of short-term quitting success. For public health policies, early identification and timely intervention in adolescent smoking are essential to reduce the potential long-term health risks and future healthcare costs, particularly given the increasingly early age of smoking initiation.
