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
contextTobacco smoking is one of the preventable causes of death. Global Adult Tobacco Survey 2 report showed that 19% Indian males were current smokers. It is important to find out factors which help smokers on smoking cessation, ultimately to prevent of lung and other morbidities. There are few community-based studies on intention and attempt to quit smoking in rural area.
aimsThe present study aimed to determine the factors associated with intention and attempt to quit smoking among current smokers. SETTINGS AND
designA cross-sectional study was conducted from June to September 2019 among 198 male daily smokers residing in the rural field practice area of AllH and PH, Kolkata. SUBJECTS AND
methodsAfter cluster sampling, data were collected by predesigned schedule by the face-to-face interview.
results151 (76.3%) study subjects intended to quit smoking. 63 (31.8%) study subjects attempted to quit in last 1 year. Thirty-one (47.5%) showed high-to-medium nicotine dependence. There was a significant association of intention to quit with agriculture as occupation (acquisitive crime [AOR]-2.17, confidence interval [CI]-1.01-4.63), low nicotine dependence (AOR-2.98, CI-1.43-6.21), doctor's advice (AOR = 2.84, CI-1.27-6.33), and family pressure (AOR = 2.16, CI-1.07-4.38). Attempt to quit was significantly associated with low nicotine dependence (AOR = 5.85, CI-2.85-12.00), family pressure (AOR = 2.94, CI-1.47-5.91).
conclusionAlong with counseling to reduce nicotine dependence, comprehensive approach both from family members as well as health care providers, is vital to escalate the quitting behaviour in smoking habit.
