Smoking cessation knowledge, attitude and practices among tuberculosis physicians: A qualitative study.
Article in Tobacco prevention & cessation, 2020. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 4 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
introductionSmoking cessation interventions within tuberculosis (TB) care are feasible, effective and efficient for increasing smoking cessation rates. We aimed to assess TB physicians' smoking cessation knowledge, attitude, and practices (KAP).
methodsWe conducted a qualitative study with 21 TB physicians and utilized directed deductive content analysis with predefined knowledge, attitude, and practice categories. Physicians' practice was analyzed using the ABC approach (Ask, Brief advice, and Cessation support).
resultsPhysicians acknowledged the importance of quitting for improved treatment outcomes and decreased risk of TB relapse. Physicians revealed presumed drug interactions, possible side effects of pharmacotherapy, and reluctance to take additional medications as challenges of smoking cessation interventions. Physicians asked about smoking behavior and provided a brief quitting advice to TB patients; however, implementation of cessation support was limited due to poor knowledge of evidence-based cessation methods and the absence of formal tobacco dependence treatment algorithms within TB care.
conclusionsTB physicians' KAP on smoking cessation was limited. Interventions targeting physicians' knowledge and skills, and formalization of tobacco dependence treatment within TB care, are core for improving their smoking cessation practices in Armenia.
