The effect of a clinic-based behavioral intervention in promoting enrolment in a text-message tobacco cessation program at a rural primary health clinic in Delhi, India.

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 mCessation is a text-message service for quitting tobacco in India, associated with high quit rates but low rates of enrolment. We determined if a brief behavioral intervention package (BBPMC) can promote the enrolment of male tobacco users in the mCessation program (MCP).
methodsWe conducted a quasi-experimental study (single-arm) at a rural primary health clinic in Delhi, India, January-April 2019. We enrolled adult male current tobacco users after screening for eligibility. A trained medical physician administered the BBPMC explaining to patients the major health risks causally associated with tobacco use, along with information on the MCP and the way to register for the service.
resultsWe recruited a total of 159 tobacco users, mean age 44.5 years (SD=14.3) with median tobacco use duration of 15 years. After administration of the BBPMC, 50 (31.2%) participants registered with the MCP program on-site. On an adjusted analysis, tobacco users with a preexisting intention to quit were three times more likely to enroll in the MCP.
conclusionsPhysicians and other healthcare providers in Indian outpatient health settings should utilize BBPMC like interventions that are easily scalable, require no specialized training, and and allow them to fulfill their obligation to provide a readily accessible tobacco cessation service to their patients.
