1 · What the graph read from 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.

2 · The registry

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

objectiveTo develop a complex intervention for community pharmacy staff to promote uptake of smoking cessation services and to increase quit rates.

designFollowing the Medical Research Council framework, we used a mixed-methods approach to develop, pilot and then refine the intervention.

methods

settingEight community pharmacies in three inner east London boroughs.

participants12 Stop Smoking Advisers.

interventionTwo, 150 min, skills-based training sessions focused on communication and behaviour change skills with between session practice.

resultsThe pilot study confirmed acceptability of the intervention and showed preliminary evidence of benefit; however, organisational barriers tended to limit effective operation. The pilot data and realist review pointed to additional use of Diffusion of Innovations Theory to seat the intervention in the wider organisational context.

conclusionsWe have developed and refined an intervention to promote smoking cessation services in community pharmacies, which we now plan to evaluate in a randomised controlled trial. TRIAL REGISTRATION NUMBER: UKCRN ID 18446, Pilot.
