Examination of a hope- and fear-based message targeting older adults who smoke: A randomized trial.
Trial report in Geriatric nursing (New York, N.Y.). The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the 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.
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
Older adults who smoke are half as likely to make a quit attempt, but more likely to maintain abstinence using evidence-based treatments. Awareness of the increased risk of dementia among people who currently smoke may motivate cessation in this population, but messages have not been tested. 820 adults who smoke, ages 50-80, with no history of dementia completed an online survey examining one of three randomly assigned messages (Control N = 266, Fear N = 274, Hope N = 280) on motivation and intentions to quit. Fear and Hope messages were based on the link between smoking and dementia. Fear increased motivation to quit [t(813) = 2.818, p = 0.005] more than Control. Hope did not differ from Control [t(813) = 1.908, p = 0.057] or Fear [t(813) = 0.937, p = 0.349] in change in motivation to quit. There were no differences between messages in change in intention to quit, F(2, 817) = 0.825, p = 0.439. Future work should examine feasibility and acceptability of fear-based motivational messages on quitting success.
