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

Tobacco cessation is reduced in U.S. military veterans experiencing homelessness. Mobile contingency management (mCM) is a promising treatment for tobacco use among populations experiencing homelessness, but past CM studies have largely been small, have relied on in-person follow-up, and/or lacked long-term biochemically verified abstinence measures. Veterans who smoked and were experiencing homelessness (N = 127) were randomly assigned to mCM treatment (4 weeks of mCM, 5 weeks of telehealth counseling, and the option of 12 weeks of pharmacotherapy) or VA standard care (3 biweekly group sessions and clinically appropriate pharmacotherapy), and all participants were randomly assigned to a $100 longer-term financial incentive for abstinence at 3-month follow-up. Participants were followed at 3-, 6-, and 12-months post-randomization, with the a priori main outcome designated as biochemically verified prolonged abstinence (with lapses) at 6-month follow-up. At 6-months, participants in the mCM group were significantly more likely to meet criteria for prolonged abstinence (
