Metaregression of publication year against effect size for smoking initiation, smoking persistence, and smoking rate. Metaregression indicates a significant association between individual study publication year and effect size estimate for smoking initiation (top) and smoking persistence (middle), but not smoking rate (bottom). Where this was observed, the effect reflected a reduction in effect size estimate over time.
