1 · What the graph read from 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.

2 · The registry

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

objectiveThe study aimed to reduce women's exposure to passive smoking, which has been linked to increased risk of cancer and other diseases. By exploring the knowledge, attitudes and behaviors of pregnant women with regard to secondhand smoke in the home environment, a model for intervention during the pregnancy was designed with the help of the intended beneficiaries and was piloted.

methodsThe study had two phases. Phase 1 included focus group discussions and an iterative process to design an intervention. Phase 2 was the intervention itself, which included a series of motivational and patient communication activities, a resource booklet, clinician counseling, telephone hotline and regular telephone counseling. Pre- and post-intervention questionnaires were used to measure results.

resultsPost-intervention questionnaires showed a significant increase in knowledge, a change in attitudes towards stronger disapproval and an increased likelihood of taking assertive action when exposed to secondhand smoke in the family. PRACTICE IMPLICATIONS: The results of this study point to the fact that there is a need to give emphasis to passive smoking in the home environment and that the women's pregnancy is an effective conduit to increasing knowledge and bringing about change. The intervention model can become a part of the standard protocol for the care of pregnant women in hospital settings.
