Smokers' Perspectives on Texting for Tobacco Dependence Treatment: A Qualitative Analysis.
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. Cited by 9 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.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
backgroundNumerous evidence-based pharmacologic and behavioral approaches exist for the treatment of tobacco dependence. Short-message service texting is a newer modality which shows promise, but smokers' perspectives on texting have not been widely explored.
objectiveTo use a qualitative research approach to elicit from a sub-sample of participants in a pilot clinical trial their perspectives concerning the feasibility, acceptability, and personal relevance of a publicly available texting program for smoking cessation.
methodsAdult smokers enrolled in the intervention arm in a randomized trial of tobacco treatment were interviewed by telephone. Consenting subjects engaged in a 15-30min semi-structured interview with a trained research assistant, discussing their experience with and attitudes about the texting program and how it affected their tobacco use. Interviews were audio-recorded, transcribed verbatim, and analyzed thematically. Descriptive statistics were calculated for the 16 Likert-formatted items.
resultsOf 30 subjects in the intervention arm, 25 (83%) agreed to participate in the qualitative interviews. In general subjects found the program helpful. Common themes were that the texts served as a form of social support, provided useful strategies to reduce tobacco use, validated subjects' attempts to quit, and offered welcome distractions from cravings. Subjects were satisfied with the frequency, timing, and number of texts, although some improvements were suggested.
conclusionsTexting was perceived as feasible, acceptable, and helpful in smokers' attempts to abstain from tobacco. IMPLICATIONS: The major themes identified included the program being a valued source of external support that provided useful strategies to reduce tobacco use. Subjects were satisfied with the frequency, timing, and number of texts. Texting was perceived as feasible, acceptable, and helpful in smokers' attempts to abstain from tobacco. Suggestions to improve the program primarily concerned increasing customizable options and using simple, declarative sentences.
