Appalachian Primary Care Patients' Quit Readiness and Tobacco Treatment Receipt.

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
introductionHealthcare providers should facilitate smoking cessation, and primary care is an ideal setting for delivering this evidence-based care. This study's objective was to describe readiness to quit smoking combustible cigarettes among adult Appalachian primary care patients and determine their providers' implementation of an established tobacco treatment model.
methodsAs part of a randomized clinical trial, 298 providers in 10 health systems across 4 states received tobacco treatment training. Periodically between January 2022 and June 2023, anonymous surveys were distributed to patients after primary care visits. The survey included questions about demographics, visit type, smoking status, readiness to quit, and provider behavior related to tobacco treatment implementation. In 2023, descriptive statistics, bivariate tests and logistic regression models were conducted.
resultsAmong 1,242 survey respondents, 34.1% reported current smoking. Among those who reported current smoking, 13.9% expressed readiness to quit within the next 30 days and 15.3% reported readiness in 1-6 months while 36.7% indicated "never" wanting to quit. Nearly all providers asked respondents about smoking status (96.9%) and advised them to quit (89.8%); fewer providers engaged in cessation assistance by discussing behavioral counseling, discussing medication options, and/or prescribing medication (25.1%-64.6% across behaviors). Provider behavior was most consistently associated with patient age and visit type.
conclusionsNearly one third of Appalachian patients who smoke reported readiness to quit within 6 months and nearly all received advice to quit from their provider. Patients would benefit from more intensive tobacco treatment delivery in primary care settings, with a focus on assisting with quit attempts.
