Parental smoking and sociodemographic factors related to smoking among German medical students.
Article in European journal of epidemiology, 1996. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 10 papers.
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
Smoking among medical students has been found to vary strongly between European countries. Few studies have addressed factors associated with smoking among medical students within countries. In this study, we assessed the association of parental smoking and sociodemographic factors with smoking habits of medical students at the University of Ulm, Germany, Students who entered the 1st, 3rd and 5th year of medical school in fall 1992 were asked to complete a self-administered questionnaire. Questionnaires were returned by 696 (85.2%) of 817 eligible students. Overall, 23.7% of students were current smokers, and 11.9% were former smokers. Smoking habits were related to maternal smoking: Odds ratios for the association of maternal smoking with ever or current smoking of students were 2.11 (95% CI: 1.48-3.03) and 2.01 (95% CI: 1.35-3.01), respectively, after adjustment for potential confounders in multiple logistic regression. In contrast, no association was found between paternal smoking and students' smoking status. Male students were more likely to smoke than female students, and living in a large city during secondary school was also associated with ever smoking. No association was found between students' smoking habits and educational achievement of their mothers and fathers. These results suggest a key role of maternal smoking for smoking among medical students in this society.
