Efficacy of an emergency department-based multicomponent intervention for smokers with substance use disorders.
Trial report in Journal of substance abuse treatment, 2013. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 15 papers, 2 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
The efficacy of brief emergency department (ED)-based interventions for smokers with concurrent alcohol or substance use is unknown. We performed a subgroup analysis of a trial enrolling adult smokers in an urban ED, focusing on subjects who screened positive for alcohol abuse or illicit drug use. Subjects receiving usual care (UC) were given a smoking cessation brochure; those receiving enhanced care (EC) got the brochure, a brief negotiated interview, 6 weeks of nicotine patches, and a telephone call. Follow-up occurred at 3 months. Of 340 subjects in the parent study, 88 (25.9%) reported a substance use disorder. At 3 months, substance users receiving EC were more likely to be tobacco-abstinent than those receiving UC (14.6% versus 0%, p = .015), and to self-identify as nonsmokers (12.5% v. 0%, p = .03). This finding suggests that concurrent alcohol or substance use should not prevent initiation of tobacco dependence treatment in the ED.
