Does missing one pill affect the effectiveness of other pill packs and cycles?

Hello there, Im on combined birth control pills since last year and Im really good on taking them regularly however three months ago I missed one pill but I still got my period and everything is okay since then. I wanted to ask does missing a pill affect other packs and cycles too and will it decrease the overall effectiveness of birth control or does it only affect that month?
