Interest in Smoking Cessation Related to a Smoke-Free Policy Among Homeless Adults.
Article in Journal of community health, 2015. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 18 papers, 1 of them a synthesis 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
Homeless adults have among the highest rates of cigarette smoking. Few studies have explored the potential of smoke-free policies as facilitators of smoking cessation or harm reduction among sheltered homeless adults. We focused on clients of a homeless shelter in San Diego, California. The facility prohibited smoking indoors and outdoors within five blocks of the building, and permitted smoking during four smoking breaks during the day in designated smoking zones away from the building. Current and former smokers who were residents of the facility were interviewed on smoking behaviors and attitudes toward these policies. Of the 170 ever smokers, 75.3% were current smokers. The average daily cigarette consumption was 6.6 cigarettes per day (SD 4.3). More than half of the participants (57.8%) attempted to quit smoking in the past year. Of the current smokers, three-fourths agreed that the facility policies were associated with their reduced consumption, and about half agreed that the policies were associated with either making a quit attempt or getting ready to quit completely. Sixty percent agreed that further restrictions on smoking, beyond the current policies, would be associated with increased interest in quitting smoking completely. Less than 10% agreed that they were unhappy to stay in the facility because of the policies. Findings suggest that smoke-free policies may not influence occupancy rates in shelters serving clientele with high rates of cigarette smoking. Smoke-free policies in homeless service settings present an important and un-tapped opportunity to reduce smoking behaviors among homeless adults.
