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

Unhealthy behaviors are a socioeconomic burden and lead to the development of chronic diseases. Relapse is a common issue that most individuals deal with as they adopt and sustain a positive healthy lifestyle. Proper identification of behavioral transitions can help design agile, adaptive, and just-in-time interventions. In this paper, we present a methodology that integrates qualitative coding, machine learning, and formal data analysis using stage transition probabilities and linguistics-based text analysis to track shifts in stages of behavior change as embedded in journal entries recorded by users in an online community for tobacco cessation. Results indicate that our semi-automated stage identification method has an accuracy of 90%. Further analysis revealed stage-specific language features and transition probabilities. Implications for targeted social interventions are discussed.
