Does Medication Sampling Improve Compliance with Brief Advice? Results from a Pragmatic Randomized Clinical Trial.
Article in Journal of smoking cessation, 2021. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. It is linked to trial NCT02096029 (Brief, Novel Smoking Cessation in Primary Care), which is not on this map. Cited by 2 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.

Abstract
introductionThe 5As model is a standard component of most guidelines for tobacco treatment. Unfortunately, provider adherence to this model is modest.
aimsProviding physicians with adjunctive tools to adhere to 5As guidelines may serve as a catalyst for brief advice delivery.
methodsThis was a secondary data analysis of a cluster randomized clinical trial assessing the uptake and impact of free nicotine replacement therapy (NRT) sampling versus standard care in primary care. Patients reported receipt of separate elements of the 5As model, assessed one month following a baseline visit. Analyses compared patients who recalled receipt of brief advice among those who received NRT vs. standard care. Additional analyses examined demographic predictors of receiving brief advice. RESULTS/
findingsMedication sampling did not improve compliance with ask, advise, or assess. Receipt of "assistance" was significantly higher among NRT recipients (70%) (
conclusionsProvision of NRT sampling increased provider compliance with some elements of the brief advice model, thus enhancing the impact of cessation advice within primary care.
