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

objectivesProvision of smoking-cessation treatment is limited in office-based buprenorphine maintenance treatment (BMT) settings. This study describes smoking and smoking-cessation behaviors among patients receiving office-based BMT.

methodsCross-sectional study of patients receiving office-based BMT at a community health center in the Bronx, NY. We interviewed patients assessing sociodemographic, and substance use and tobacco use characteristics, including methods used for smoking cessation. We reported simple frequencies and explored associations of BMT characteristics with smoking behaviors.

resultsOf 68 patients, 87.7% were current cigarette smokers, 7.9% were former smokers, and 4.4% had never smoked. Of lifetime smokers, 83.1% reported at least 1 prior quit attempt, and 78.5% had used medication (75.4% used nicotine replacement therapy, 29.2% varenicline, and 9.2% bupropion). Ten patients (15.4%) reported using electronic cigarettes to try to quit smoking. Stopping "cold turkey" (40.0%) and gradually decreasing the number of cigarettes smoked (32.3%) were nonpharmacological methods of quitting tried most often. Use of behavioral support, including stop-smoking programs and counseling, was low. Higher dose and longer duration of BMT was associated with greater smoking frequency.

conclusionsPatients receiving BMT have a high prevalence of cigarette smoking, though most have tried to quit, and have prior experience with pharmacotherapy for smoking cessation. Efforts to optimize smoking-cessation treatments among BMT patients are needed.
