1 · What the graph read from it

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.

2 · The registry

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

introductionEvidence of digital interventions that are efficacious among low-income populations is scarce. In a secondary analysis, we determined the efficacy and utilization of an Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT)-based smartphone application (iCanQuit) versus a U.S. Clinical Practice Guidelines (USCPG)-based smartphone application (QuitGuide) for smoking cessation in low-income adults enrolled in the iCanQuit randomized trial.

methodsParticipants were randomized to receive iCanQuit (n = 437) or QuitGuide (n = 460) for 12-months. Consistent with the main trial, the primary outcome was self-reported complete-case 30-day point prevalence abstinence (PPA) at 12-months. Secondary outcomes were 7-day PPA, missing-as-smoking and multiple imputation, prolonged abstinence, and cessation of all tobacco products at 12-months. Outcome data retention, utilization, and change in ACT-based processes were compared across arms.

resultsParticipants were recruited from 48 U.S. states. Retention rate was 88% at 12-months and did not differ by arm. At 12-months, iCanQuit was 1.46 times more efficacious than QuitGuide for smoking cessation (27% vs. 20%; OR=1.46 95% CI: 1.04, 2.06). Findings were similar for missing-as-smoking imputation (23% vs. 18%; OR=1.41 95% CI: 1.01, 1.97) and multiple imputation at 12-months (27% vs. 20%; OR=1.51 95% CI: 1.07, 2.14). Treatment utilization was significantly higher among iCanQuit than QuitGuide participants. Increased acceptance of cues to smoke mediated the effect of treatment on cessation.

conclusionsThe iCanQuit smartphone application was more efficacious and engaging for smoking cessation among low-income adults than a USCPG-based smartphone application. A nationwide dissemination trial of iCanQuit is warranted to determine whether iCanQuit may alleviate cessation-related disparities among low-income adults.
