Experiences of smoking and tobacco use during pregnancy: A qualitative study protocol.
Article in PloS one, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. It is linked to trial NCT05222958 (Effectiveness of an App for Tobacco Cessation in Pregnant Women), which is not on this map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
Tobacco use during pregnancy is the main avoidable cause of morbidity and mortality both for pregnant women and their offspring. Between 12 and 22% of pregnant women in industrialized countries smoke during pregnancy, and 13% are unable to stop smoking. Pregnancy is considered an ideal opportunity to intervene and control tobacco use among smokers and their families. However, pregnant women experience barriers to quitting smoking, including social stigma and fear of being judged. Thus, it is necessary to develop interventions for smoking cessation adapted for pregnant women. This paper presents a qualitative study protocol to assess the barriers and facilitators of smoking cessation during pregnancy that female smokers encounter or perceive. It consists of a series of focus groups and individual interviews with female smokers who have been pregnant within the last five years. Participants will be recruited from the Sexual and Reproductive Health Care Services of the Camp de Tarragona. A group of 5-10 women who have been pregnant and tried to quit smoking over the last 5 years will be selected. The data will be collected by means of semistructured interviews. All interviews will be transcribed verbatim, coded and synthesized into categories and main themes. Thematic analysis will be conducted employing an iterative and reflexive approach. The results of this study will offer new perspectives on smoking interventions for pregnant women and enhance our comprehension of the main barriers to and facilitators of smoking cessation during pregnancy. This will contribute to the adaptation of the Tobbstop app, originally designed for the general public, to suit the needs of pregnant women. Consequently, the creation of targeted interventions will positively influence the health outcomes of both pregnant women and newborns. Trial registration: Clinicaltrials.gov ID: NCT05222958. The trial was registered 3 February 2022, at https://clinicaltrials.gov/ct2/show/NCT05222958.
