Article in Health education & behavior : the official publication of the Society for Public Health Education, 2011. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. It is linked to trial NCT01878214 (Effective Communication Strategies for Promoting Smoking Cessation in Carpenters), which is not on this map. Cited by 7 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled it.

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.

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.

Abstract

Only a few of the interventions that target blue-collar workers have conducted formal analysis to evaluate the specific attributes of their intervention that are associated with success or failure. This study examined the role of dual hazard and decisional balance in the MassBUILT smoking cessation intervention. The authors conducted sets of multivariable linear and logistic regressions that examined if (a) the intervention was associated with changes in the psychosocial variables and (b) increase in psychosocial variables was associated with increase in smoking cessation. As hypothesized by the theoretical basis of the study, higher scores on both of the psychosocial variables were significantly associated with smoking cessation. However, the intervention did not change decisional balance and decreased dual hazard. The variables examined were important but were not mediators of the MassBUILT intervention and this could have contributed to the significant relapse in smoking among study participants.
