Efficacy of Web-Delivered Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) for Helping Black Adults Quit Smoking.
Trial report in Journal of racial and ethnic health disparities, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map.

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
backgroundDigital smoking cessation interventions may reduce racial disparities in cessation because they are low cost, scalable, and can provide support at any place or time. Despite their promise, whether Black adults engage with and benefit from these tools is largely unknown. In a secondary analysis of a randomized trial, we explored the efficacy of an acceptance and commitment therapy (ACT)-based website (WebQuit) for smoking cessation compared to a US clinical practice guidelines-based website (Smokefree.gov) among Black adults.
methodsA total of 316 Black adult smokers were enrolled in the trial between May 2017 and September 2018 and received access to WebQuit or Smokefree for 12 months. Participants self-reported on 30-day and 7-day abstinence from cigarette smoking at 3, 6, and 12-months. Treatment engagement was objectively measured and compared between arms. Participants also reported on their willingness to accept cues to smoke without smoking.
resultsWebQuit versus Smokefree participants engaged more with their website (higher number of logins, Incidence Rate Ratio (IRR) = 2.21; 95% CI: 1.70, 2.89). Complete-case 30-day point prevalence abstinence (PPA) at 12-months was 34% for WebQuit vs. 29% for Smokefree (OR = 1.22 95% CI: 0.73, 2.04). Increases in participants' willingness to accept cues to smoke mediated the intervention effect on abstinence from cigarette smoking at 12 months.
conclusionsThis study addressed the lack of research on the utilization and efficacy of digital interventions for helping Black adults quit smoking. WebQuit participants engaged more with their website and quit smoking at a somewhat higher rate relative to Smokefree participants, albeit nonsignificant. Findings suggest high acceptability of ACT-based digital interventions to enable Black adult smokers to engage and sustain behavior changes.
