Perceptions of smoking cessation among Glasgow's Chinese community.
Article in Tobacco prevention & cessation, 2017. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 8 papers.
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
introductionHealth related needs and services are stratified by ethnicity in UK. The Chinese community is Scotland's second-largest minority ethnic group but a relatively under-researched one. This study aimed to explore the views and experiences of smoking cessation and related services among Chinese community members in Glasgow and to inform them about smoking cessation interventions.
methodsThis cross-sectional study was conducted in 2016 using a qualitative research method. Purposive sampling methods were used to recruit 15 Chinese community members in Glasgow. Semi-structured interviews were audio-recorded and data transcribed, translated, and thematically analysed.
resultsMany factors influenced participants' smoking: concern for personal health, advice from medical professionals, expenditure, family pressure, tobacco-control policies, nicotine dependence, self-efficacy, and acculturation. Smoking initiation and relapse were influenced by interpersonal relations, emotional factors, Chinese social norms, and acculturation. Barriers reported to accessing and participating in cessation services included: excessive or inflexible working hours, low confidence in cessation services, language barriers, cultural barriers and unsuitability of cessation services for Chinese smokers. Employing community resources, improving language support, working with cultural values, and accommodating degrees of acculturation may improve services and their uptake.
conclusionsSmoking-cessation services should consider the culture of this ethnic minority population to improve cessation uptake. Further investigation of this community's needs and expectations is needed to tailor smoking-cessation interventions for Chinese immigrants in Glasgow.
