A longitudinal assessment of nicotine dependence, mental health, and attempts to quit Smoking: Evidence from waves 1-4 of the Population Assessment of Tobacco and Health (PATH) study.

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
backgroundAdult smokers with symptoms of any mental illness (AMI) are highly dependent on nicotine and may face additional difficulty quitting smoking. While there is evidence that adult smokers with AMI have high dependence, there is insufficient evidence regarding the unique role that AMI may play in moderating the relationship between dependence and cessation outcomes over time.
methods7290 current established adult smokers at Wave 1 (2013-2014) of the PATH Study also participated in data collection in Waves 2-4 (2014-2018). Linear probability models with individual-level random effects were fit to the data, modeling associations between AMI, nicotine dependence, and the 1) likelihood of achieving cessation during the study period, 2) making a cessation attempt within the previous 12 months, and 3) log of past 30-day total consumption of cigarettes.
resultsAdults who experienced both AMI symptoms and high dependence were 4.7 percentage points (PP) less likely to achieve cessation at any point during the study period (p < 0.01) and smoked more cigarettes per month (β = 0.214, p < 0.05) than adults with AMI who were not highly dependent, despite being as likely to attempt to quit. Adults with AMI who were not highly dependent were 4.6 PP more likely to report a quit attempt and 1.6 PP more likely to achieve cessation than those with neither AMI nor high dependence.
conclusionsAdults with AMI are particularly affected by the burden of tobacco use, in part because of the likely interaction between nicotine dependence and AMI. Tobacco control efforts that focus on this interplay may provide an opportunity to better target interventions for this vulnerable population.
