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

backgroundNational smoking prevalence is declining and new legislation, such as the Tobacco and Vapes Act, will reduce the number of people who take up smoking. However, there are profound disparities in the prevalence of people who currently smoke in the population, and further measures are required to prevent and treat tobacco-related inequality.

methodsThe recently published RCP report 'Smoking, health and social justice outlines the drivers of smoking inequality, significant gaps in national data collection, the economic impact of smoking and measures to mitigate this wholly preventable cause of disadvantage.

conclusionBy introducing opt-out treatment of tobacco dependency across the NHS, raising the price of tobacco and applying cross-governmental actions to health-harming industries, the persistent gap in smoking-related inequality can be reduced.
