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
introductionTrauma-exposed individuals with and without posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD) are more likely to smoke and less successful in quit attempts than individuals without psychopathology. Contingency management (CM) techniques (i.e., incentives for abstinence) have demonstrable efficacy for smoking cessation in some populations with psychopathology, but have not been well tested in PTSD. This pilot study examined the feasibility of CM plus brief cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) in promoting smoking cessation among trauma-exposed individuals with and without PTSD.
methodsFifty trauma-exposed smokers (18 with PTSD) were asked to abstain from tobacco and nicotine replacement therapy for one month. During week one of cessation, CBT was provided daily and increasing CM stipends were paid for each continuous day of biochemically-verified abstinence; CM stipends were withheld in response to smoking lapses and reset to the initial payment level upon abstinence resumption. CBT and fixed payments for study visits were provided during the subsequent three weeks.
resultsOf the 50 eligible participants who attended at least one pre-quit visit (49% female, 35% current PTSD), 43 (86%) attended the first post-quit study visit, 32 (64%) completed the first week of CM/CBT treatment, and 26 (52%) completed the study. Post-quit seven-day point prevalence abstinence rates for participants with and without PTSD, respectively, were similar: 39% vs. 38% (1 week), 33% vs. 28% (2 weeks), 22% vs. 19% (3 weeks), and 22% vs. 13% (4 weeks).
conclusionsUse of CM + CBT to support tobacco abstinence is a promising intervention for trauma-exposed smokers with and without PTSD.
