Acceptability and compliance with a remote monitoring system to track smoking and abstinence among young smokers.
Article in The American journal of drug and alcohol abuse, 2018. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. It is linked to trial NCT05732220 (Mobile Ecological Momentary Assessment-based Peer Counselling for Youth Smokers), which is not on this map. Cited by 17 papers, 3 of them syntheses 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.

Abstract
backgroundSimilar to adult smokers, quit attempts among younger smokers almost inevitably result in relapse. Unlike adults, less is known about the process of relapse in this younger age group. A technology-based remote monitoring system may allow for detailed and accurate characterization of smoking and abstinence and would help to improve cessation strategies.
objectivesThis study describes a mobile system that captures smoking using breath carbon monoxide (CO) and real-time self-reports of smoking behavior. Compliance, feasibility, acceptability, and accuracy of the system were measured during a quit attempt and subsequent monitoring period.
methodsThe mobile application (My Mobile Monitor, M
resultsParticipants averaged 22.3 ± 2.0 years old and smoked an average of 13.0 ± 6.1 cigarettes per day. Overall session compliance was 69% and during the quit attempt, 56% of participants abstained from smoking for at least 24 hours. Agreement between self-reported smoking compared to breath CO was generally high, when available for comparison, though underreporting of cigarettes was likely.
conclusionThis study demonstrates feasibility of a remote monitoring app with younger smokers, though improvements to promote compliance are needed. Remote monitoring to detect smoking and abstinence represents a step forward in the improvement of cessation strategies, but user experience and personalization are vital.
