Impact of the Tobacco Treatment Guidelines for High Risk Groups (TOB.g): A pilot study among physicians specializing in CVD, Diabetes and COPD.

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
introductionThe 2017 Tobacco Cessation Guidelines for High-risk Groups (TOB-G) is a comprehensive document on best practices for smoking cessation in clinical practice. The purpose of this pilot study was to assess physician satisfaction and changes in tobacco-related knowledge, self-efficacy and attitudes following exposure to training in the TOB-G guidelines for patients with cardiovascular disease (CVD), chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), or diabetes.
methodsA pre-post pilot study was conducted. All participating physicians received an electronic or printed copy of the TOB-G guidelines for patients with CVD, COPD or diabetes. Physicians were also exposed to a one-day training focused on the key clinical practice recommendations from the TOB.g guidelines. Outcome measurement occurred via survey before, immediately following and 6 months after exposure to the training.
resultsFifty physicians participated in the TOB.g training session. High rates of participant satisfaction were documented (exceeded expectations 47.7%; met expectations to a great extent 52.3%). Significant increases in physician knowledge and self-efficacy were documented immediately following and 6 months after exposure to the guideline training session. Exposure to the training was associated with positive changes in some but not all tobacco-related treatment attitudes, however these were no longer significant at the 6-month follow-up. Lower knowledge, confidence and unfavourable attitudes were documented for aspects of treatment related to pharmacotherapy.
conclusionsPositive changes in previously reported barriers to the delivery of tobacco treatment among physicians were documented following exposure to the TOB.g guidelines and training for patients with CVD, COPD or diabetes.
