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

Individuals with persistent pain have disproportionately high cigarette smoking prevalence and poorer cessation outcomes. There has been a shift from examining single pain diagnoses to a focus on co-occurring pain disorders referred to as chronic overlapping pain conditions (COPCs). COPCs represent a cluster of 10 disorders (e.g., irritable bowel syndrome [IBS], fibromyalgia, chronic low back pain, chronic tension-type headache) characterized by central sensitization. Yet, the relevance of COPC burden on smoking-related processes and internalizing psychopathology remains unexplored. The purpose of the present study is to improve understanding of whether the total number of COPCs is associated with smoking-related processes, including cigarette dependence severity, perceived barriers for cessation, and severity of problems when trying to quit, as well as anxiety and depression severity. Participants were 263 adults (52.1% female; M
