Development of a Measure of Incremental Behavior Change Toward Smoking Cessation.
Article in Nicotine & tobacco research : official journal of the Society for Research on Nicotine and Tobacco, 2017. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. It is linked to 3 registered trials, which are not on this map. Cited by 4 papers.
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
introductionA reliable measure capable of detecting progression towards smoking cessation would be valuable for evaluating and optimizing the effectiveness of low- to moderate-intensity cessation interventions, such as brief advice in the primary care setting. This article presents the development and evaluation of a brief self-report measure of Incremental Behavior Change toward Smoking cessation (IBC-S).
methodsSequential samples of 411 and 399 adult smokers completed items representing a spectrum of behavioral and cognitive changes antecedent to smoking cessation. The dimensionality, fit, range of difficulty, and reliability of items were evaluated using factor analysis and Rasch modeling.
resultsThe final 15-item IBC-S measure met fit criteria and demonstrated acceptable reliability. Participants with a significant change in IBC-S score were over four times more likely to report cessation at 6-week follow-up (OR 4.37, 95% CI 1.83-10.42).
conclusionThe IBC-S is brief, reliable and associated with self-report of smoking reduction and cessation. IMPLICATIONS: This article presents the psychometric evaluation of a measure to assess a spectrum of behaviors and cognitions antecedent to smoking cessation. The findings indicate that the items show good measurement properties and good potential as a sensitive measure to evaluate interventions. This measure provides an alternative outcome for interventions that are designed to move individuals towards cessation attempts.
