Effectiveness of Text Messaging in Encouraging Smoking Cessation among Non-Communicable Disease Patients: A Randomized Controlled Trial.
Trial report in Asian Pacific journal of cancer prevention : APJCP, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 papers.
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
objectiveTo assess the impact of a text-messaging intervention on smoking cessation among patients with non-communicable diseases.
methodsA total of 200 participants were randomly assigned to either a text-messaging intervention group or a control group. The 7-day point prevalence of smoking cessation and exhaled carbon monoxide (CO) levels were measured at baseline, 6 weeks, and 18 weeks. Mixed linear regression was employed to examine the interaction effect of exhaled CO between the intervention group and follow-up time.
resultsThe 7-day point prevalence of smoking cessation increased by 16.16% (95% CI: 10.98, 21.33) at the 6-week follow-up and by 15.46% (95% CI: 10.68, 21.33) at the 18-week follow-up. In the intervention group, exhaled CO was significantly lower compared to the control group at 6 weeks (mean difference: -5.79; 95% CI: -7.26, -4.32) and at 18 weeks (mean difference: -4.19; 95% CI: -5.67, -2.71).
conclusionThe text-messaging intervention proved effective in increasing the prevalence of smoking cessation and reducing carbon monoxide levels among non-communicable disease patients.
