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

introductionSmoking prevalence in Russia is one of the highest in the world. It leads to significant damage to the National Health Service. The purpose of the present research was to assess the effectiveness of a qualified smoking-cessation (SC) center in Moscow, and to identify the main determinants of smoking cessation.

methodsThe subjects of this study were a cohort of smokers (n=524) who had attended the SC service in Moscow between 2012-2015. They were followed, for at least 6 months after receiving the professional counselling in smoking cessation, to assess the results of the assistance and to identify determinants of successful smoking cessation.

resultsOf the smokers, 19% succeeded in reducing by more than half the number of smoked cigarettes, more than 46% of patients completely stopped smoking for different terms: 38% for more than a month and 24% for more than half a year. Odds ratios (ORs) indicated that the probability of successful smoking cessation significantly increased if there was a previous success in smoking cessation: OR 3.71 (95% CI 1.70-8.12); and if there was a high level of motivation to stop smoking OR 4.3 (95% CI 1.92-5.61). The probability of successful smoking cessation decreased with intensity of smoking > 10 cigarettes a day: OR 0.57 (95% CI 0.31-1.02); and an elevated (>7 points) Fagerström-test score OR 0.64 (95% CI 0.37-1.07).

conclusionsDegree of motivation and willingness to quit smoking were the principal determinants of the effectiveness in the attempt to quit smoking within our study cohort.
