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

introductionAddiction to tobacco is one of the main drivers of continued tobacco use. This study explored whether perceived addiction, type of tobacco and demographic characteristics were associated with past quit attempts (PQA), intention and self-efficacy to quit among combustible tobacco (CT) or smokeless tobacco (SLT) users in India.

methodsA cross-sectional survey was conducted among adult tobacco users (N = 607) attending an out-patient department in Mumbai. Logistic regression analysis was used to investigate the association between demographic characteristics, type of tobacco, addiction perceptions and cessation behaviours.

resultsBeing 'a little addicted' (adjusted odds ratio, AOR [95% confidence interval, CI] 2.75 [1.83, 4.11], P < 0.0001) or 'quite addicted' (AOR [95% CI] 2.93 [1.53, 5.62], P < 0.0012) was associated with lower odds of making a PQA compared to 'not addicted at all'. Being a SLT user (AOR [95% CI] 0.64 [0.41, 0.99], P = 0.047) and female (AOR [95% CI] 0.46 [0.26, 0.81], P = 0.0068) was associated with lower odds of making a PQA. There was a significant decrease in the odds of intention to quit as age increased by 1 year (AOR [95% CI] 0.98 [0.97, 0.99], P = 0.0018). Being identified as 'a little addicted' (AOR [95% CI] 0.28 [0.14, 0.55], P = 0.0003), 'quite addicted' (AOR [95% CI] 0.16 [0.07, 0.39], P < 0.0001) or 'very addicted' (AOR [95% CI] 0.09 [0.04, 0.19], P < 0.0001) was associated with lower odds of self-efficacy to quit compared to 'not addicted at all'. DISCUSSION AND

conclusionLack of awareness about addiction may inhibit cessation, particularly among less educated and female users of SLT and CT products.
