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

backgroundIndividuals with mobility impairments (MI; use equipment to ambulate) have a high prevalence of both smoking and depression. Behavioral activation (BA) purports that depressed mood is remediated through valued activity engagement and may facilitate smoking cessation in MI populations.

objectiveWe examined cross-sectional associations between activity engagement and variables important for smoking cessation among a high-risk group of smokers (people with MIs) and also describe a smoking cessation intervention based on BA, given the lack of studies on smokers with MIs.

methodsThis study used data from a smoking cessation trial enrolling smokers with MIs (n = 263). We assessed valued activities, activity type, activity restriction due to MI, and replacement of restricted activities. Motivation and confidence to quit smoking, number of cigarettes per day, and mood were also assessed. Analysis was performed with generalized linear (or logistic) regression models adjusted for age and physical functioning using aggregated data at baseline.

resultsGreater number and frequency of valued activities was associated with less smoking, depression, negative affect, and stress and higher positive affect and self-efficacy to quit. Activity restriction was associated with greater odds of major depression, and activity replacement with lower odds of major depression, lower stress, and higher positive affect and self-efficacy. Strength of associations varied by activity type.

conclusionsConsistent with our theoretical model, BA activity constructs were associated with several mediators of smoking outcomes in the expected directions. Smokers engaging in valued activities have more favorable profiles for smoking cessation and mood management.
