Smoking Cessation Interventions for Chinese American Smokers: A Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis.

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
backgroundSmoking cessation interventions are important for decreasing lung cancer mortality rate among Chinese Americans. This study aims to investigate and summarize the intervention methods focusing on smoking cessation among Chinese Americans and to compare the effects of intervention methods on the smoking cessation rates.
methodsA systematic review and meta-analysis design was used in this study. Keyword searching was conducted in August 2021 on PubMed, Google Scholar, PsycINFO, and CINAHL. The methodological quality of each study was assessed using the PEDro scale or The Methodological item for non-randomized studies (MINORS). The Review Manager Version 5.4 software was used to conduct the meta-analysis. Random effect model and subgroup analysis were applied in the analysis.
resultsTwenty and 11 studies were included in the systematic review and meta-analysis, respectively. Of the 20 studies, 8 were randomized control studies, 9 were pre-post single group intervention studies, 1 was retrospective analysis for an intervention study, 1 was a baseline data analysis from a cluster randomized trial, 1 was a feasibility intervention study. Results showed that compared to the control group, the group that received interventions on smoking cessation had a significantly increased smoking cessation rate (OR, 3.76; 95% CI, 1.72-8.21; P=0.0009). Subgroup analysis showed individual-based (OR, 5.88) NRT outreach interventions (OR, 3.80) conducted in person (OR, 2.53) with smokers (OR, 6.64) seemed to be more effective to increase smoking cessation rates among Chinese Americans compared with group-based, telephone counseling, indirect remote interventions conducted among Chinese American smokers and their non-smoke family members.
conclusionsIndividual-based NRT outreach interventions conducted in person with smokers is an effective way to increase smoking cessation rates among Chinese Americans. More culturally sensitive and effective interventions are needed to help Chinese American smokers to quit smoking.
