Protocol for a systematic review and meta-analysis of tobacco-cessation interventions delivered perioperatively.
Article in BMJ open, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
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
introductionTobacco smoking is associated with a substantially increased risk of perioperative complications. The perioperative period is an opportunity to introduce tobacco-cessation strategies. A previous systematic review provided evidence that perioperative interventions increase short-term abstinence and may reduce postoperative complications. The evidence base has since expanded, with the subsequent publication of numerous randomised studies. This protocol outlines a systematic review examining the impact of perioperative tobacco-cessation interventions on successful abstinence from tobacco smoking, and on the incidence of perioperative complications. METHODS AND ANALYSIS: A systematic search of the literature will be run across EMBASE (Ovid), MEDLINE (Ovid), CINAHL (Ebsco) and PsycInfo (ProQuest), from inception to present, using text words and subject headings. Randomised controlled trials published in English, examining adults in the perioperative period and reporting the outcomes from tobacco-cessation interventions will be included.Abstract screening and data extraction will be performed by five reviewers. Each abstract will be screened by two blinded reviewers, with discrepancies resolved by group consensus. The primary outcome will be point prevalence abstinence from tobacco-use at the time of surgery. Secondary outcomes are prolonged abstinence from tobacco use at 6 months and 12 months, and postoperative complications. Any other reported outcomes will be documented in the descriptive analysis. The review will also describe details of the investigated perioperative tobacco-cessation interventions. If sufficient studies report relevant data, meta-analysis of the primary and secondary outcomes will be undertaken. Results will be reported according to the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic reviews and Meta-Analyses statement. ETHICS AND DISSEMINATION: No ethical approval is required. Results will be disseminated by open-access, peer-reviewed journal publication and conference presentations. Results will underpin future work to modify perioperative tobacco-cessation interventions to enhance engagement and accessibility, and to develop trials aiming to facilitate abstinence from tobacco-use in patients presenting for surgery.
