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

BACKGROUND AND

aimsTo assess whether predictors of success in stopping smoking vary as a function of income level in Korean smoking cessation services.

designProspective study of predictors of smoking cessation up to 6 months' follow up.

participantsA sample of 954 people (mean age 49.13 ± 10.69 years; 863 [90.5%] men) enrolled in the Korean National Health Insurance Service smoking cessation programme in 2015. MEASURES: The outcome measure was self-reported continuous abstinence up to 6-month follow up. Predictors were income and other sociodemographic variables as well as smoking-related variables measured at baseline.

resultsThe continuous 6-month abstinence rate was 30.5%. The adjusted odds of 6-month continuous abstinence were lower among low-income versus the middle- or high-income smokers (OR, 0.54; 95% CI, 0.35-0.84), those with severe versus light/moderate cigarette dependence (OR, 0.72; 95% CI, 0.52-0.98), and use of bupropion versus varenicline (OR, 0.60; 95% CI, 0.39-0.91). The association between cigarette dependence and outcome was only present among low-income smokers.

conclusionsLower income, higher cigarette dependence, and choice of bupropion versus varenicline are associated with lower chances of stopping smoking in Korean smoking cessation services, but the association with cigarette dependence is only found in low-income smokers.
