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
backgroundTobacco use remains a significant global health challenge, contributing to 8 million annual deaths and potentially reaching 1 billion deaths in the 21 MATERIALS AND
methodsIn a community-based trial, 400 adult tobacco users from Madanpur Khadar were enrolled and randomization and allocation concealment were done (CTRI no.: CTRI/2021/06/034298). Participants were randomly assigned to intervention and control groups during the study period of 18 months. Data on sociodemographic characteristics, smoking behaviors, and motivation levels were collected. The intervention included behavior modification therapy, while the control group received brief advice. Motivation levels were assessed using the contemplation ladder, and carbon monoxide levels were measured with piCO + Smokerlyzer. The study adhered to ethical considerations and obtained approval from Jamia Hamdard's Institutional Ethical Committee.
resultsSociodemographic characteristics revealed a predominantly male (88%) population, aged above 30 years (68.5%), with lower middle class representation (51%). The intervention group exhibited a 7% smoking cessation rate, which is significantly higher than the control group (1%). piCO+ Smokerlyzer confirmed a 41.7% reduction in carbon monoxide levels among participants in the intervention group. High motivation levels correlated with successful quitting, with a 6.5 times higher odds ratio for highly motivated individuals compared to low or moderately motivated ones.
conclusionsThe study highlights the cost-effective impact of behavior modification therapy in promoting tobacco cessation, particularly in resource-constrained settings. The significant association between motivation levels and quitting underscores the importance of tailored interventions in public health initiatives aimed at reducing tobacco use.
