Trial reportBMJ (Clinical research ed.)2005
Randomised controlled trial of home based motivational interviewing by midwives to help pregnant smokers quit or cut down.
Trial report in BMJ (Clinical research ed.), 2005. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 23 papers, 9 of them syntheses that pooled 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.
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
objectiveTo determine whether motivational interviewing--a behavioural therapy for addictions-provided at home by specially trained midwives helps pregnant smokers to quit.
designRandomised controlled non-blinded trial analysed by intention to treat.
settingClinics attached to two maternity hospitals in Glasgow.
participants762/1684 pregnant women who were regular smokers at antenatal booking: 351 in intervention group and 411 in control group.
interventionsAll women received standard health promotion information. Women in the intervention group were offered motivational interviewing at home. All interviews were recorded.
main outcome measuresSelf reported smoking cessation verified by plasma or salivary cotinine concentration.
results17/351 (4.8%) women in the intervention group stopped smoking (according to self report and serum cotinine concentration < 13.7 ng/ml) compared with 19/411(4.6%) in the control group. Fifteen (4.2%) women in the intervention group cut down (self report and cotinine concentration less than half that at booking) compared with 26 (6.3%) in the control group. Fewer women in the intervention group reported smoking more (18 (5.1%) v 44 (10.7%); relative risk 0.48, 95% confidence interval 0.28 to 0.81). Birth weight did not differ significantly (mean 3078 g v 3048 g).
conclusionGood quality motivational interviewing did not significantly increase smoking cessation among pregnant women.
