Willingness to quit tobacco and its correlates among Indian tobacco users-Findings from the Global Adult Tobacco Survey India, 2016-17.

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
backgroundWillingness to quit in a tobacco user forms the basis for future quit attempts and quitting successfully.
objectiveTo determine the prevalence and correlates of willingness to quit among tobacco users in India using the Global Adult Tobacco Survey (GATS), India, 2016-2017.
methodsGATS, 2016-17 was a multistage geographically clustered sample survey done among 74,037 individuals aged 15 years and above across all the states and two of the Union Territories of India. Data of all those reported using any form of tobacco were studied for past attempts to quit tobacco, advised to quit by a health care provider, and exposure to anti-tobacco messages delivered through various media and the correlation of these with the willingness to quit using multivariate analysis.
resultsOf the 21,085 current tobacco users in the survey, 11,679 (52.2%), were willing to quit all forms of tobacco. Multivariate analysis showed that those in younger age groups (OR: 1.39 [1.23-1.56]), higher education levels (OR 1.15 [1.05-1.18]), time of first tobacco use in the day being more than 60 min after waking up in the morning (OR 1.11 [1.03-1.2]), history of attempts to quit in the past 12 months (OR 1.78 [1.69-1.87]), those advised to quit by health care provider in the past 12 months (OR 1.11 [1.06-1.17]), those using single form of tobacco (OR 1.1 [1.05-1.17]), those exposed to anti-tobacco messages in newspapers/magazines (OR 1.1 [1.05-1.17]), and cinemas (1.14 [1.08-1.20]) were more willing to quit compared to their counterparts.
conclusionEnhanced publicizing of anti-tobacco messages through the currently employed media, and ensuring that doctors give a brief advice to quit during any contact with a tobacco user could improve the willingness to quit and the consequent quit rate, especially among those tobacco users who are in younger age groups and who have attempted to quit earlier.
