The interactive effect of anxiety sensitivity and negative smoking cessation cognitions on reductions in cigarette consumption during acute cessation.

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
introductionAnxiety sensitivity (AS) as well as negative cognitions about one's ability to quit smoking represent cognitive-affective vulnerabilities implicated in smoking cessation success. However, the extent to which one's perceived sensitivity to anxiety and cessation-related cognitions uniquely and interactively affect acute abstinence outcomes has not been examined. The current study examined the interactive effects of AS and cessation cognitions on percent reductions in cigarettes smoked during the first 24-h of a quit attempt.
methodsAdult cessation-motivated smokers (n = 64; M
resultsSignificant interactive effects between AS and cessation cognitions (i.e., expectation of success in quitting, intolerance of withdrawal symptoms, and lack of cognitive coping) were observed. Consistent with hypotheses, individuals reporting higher AS and a greater perceived ability to tolerate withdrawal as well as a greater expectation of success reported larger reductions in cigarettes post quit compared to those who did not endorse these beliefs. Unexpectedly, individuals reporting lower AS who did not endorse the belief that they should be able to tolerate withdrawal discomfort, or a lack of cognitive coping, reported larger reductions compared to those who did endorse this belief.
conclusionAS may interact with specific cessation cognitions. Pre-cessation beliefs that individuals will be successful and be able to tolerate withdrawal symptoms may support cessation efforts.
