A Pilot Clinical Trial of Smoking Cessation Services Implemented in the Workplace for Service Industry Employees.
Trial report in American journal of health promotion : AJHP, 2019. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 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
purposeEvaluate the feasibility and preliminary efficacy of implementing evidence-based tobacco treatment at the workplace for service industry employees.
designRandomized trial using 6 paired worksites (3 test and 3 delayed intervention control sites).
settingUS Northeast city.
participantsEmployees were recruited from university food service settings.
interventionComprehensive smoking treatment was provided at the workplace including individual counseling, free pharmacotherapy (dual nicotine replacement therapy or varenicline), and 5 weeks of contingency management that reinforced abstinence or reductions in smoking to encourage progress toward quitting. MEASURES: Primary measures included a smoking status survey administered at the end of treatment at the test sites and before treatment began at the delayed intervention control sites. ANALYSIS: Analyses compared rates of quit attempts and successful abstinence for at least 24 hours between the test and delayed intervention control sites.
resultsTwenty-five employees were enrolled in treatment. The majority were single (12/25), black (16/25), and reported their educational attainment as high school or less (18/25). Employees in the test (vs delayed intervention control) sites reported higher rates of quit attempts (66.7% vs 12.5%, P = .02) and success quitting for at least 24 hours (53.3% vs 12.5%, P = .08). Participants rated the treatment as very helpful overall.
conclusionFindings support the feasibility and efficacy of providing workplace-based smoking cessation services and may inform strategies to increase access to treatment.
