Preferences for the Provision of Smoking Cessation Education Among Cancer Patients.
Article in Journal of cancer education : the official journal of the American Association for Cancer Education, 2018. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 15 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
Many individuals who use tobacco will continue to smoke after a cancer diagnosis and throughout treatment. This study aims to better understand cancer patient preferences to learn about smoking cessation. All new patients seen at Princess Margaret Cancer Centre between 1 January 2014 and 30 June 2015 were asked to complete the Combined Tobacco History Survey as part of standard new patient assessments. Smoking status, second hand smoke exposure, years smoked, family support, cessation preferences, demographic and tumour details were collected. Multivariable regression assessed factors associated with smoking cessation educational preferences. Nine thousand and one hundred ten patients completed the survey. One thousand and six hundred ninety-one were current smokers (17 %) of which 43 % were female and median age was 57 years (range 18-95). One thousand and two hundred thirty-eight (73 %) were willing to consider quitting and 953 (56 %) reported a readiness to quit next month. Patients were most interested in pamphlets (45 %) followed by telephone support (39 %), speaking with a healthcare professional (29 %), website (15 %), support group (11 %) and speaking with successful former smokers (9 %). Younger patients (≤45 years) preferred receiving smoking cessation education over the telephone (50 %; p < 0.001), while older patients (46-65 years and >65 years) preferred smoking education to be provided in pamphlets (43 and 51 %, respectively; p = 0.07). In multivariable analyses, older patients were more likely to prefer pamphlets than younger patients OR 1.11 (95 % CI 1.01-1.23; p = 0.03). Older cancer patients preferred to receive smoking cessation education through pamphlets and younger patients preferred the telephone. Tailored provision of cessation education resources for cancer patients is warranted.
