1 · What the graph read from it

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

introductionPersistent poverty counties (PPCs) are U.S. counties where ≥20% of residents have lived in poverty for ≥30 years. Cancer mortality rates in PPCs are exceptionally high due, in part, to elevated smoking rates. STUDY

designThe study used a parallel 2-group randomized controlled trial design. SETTING/

participantsParticipants were Oklahoma Tobacco Helpline (OTH) callers from PPCs who smoked daily (N=165). Data were collected in 2022-2023.

interventionParticipants were randomized to received OTH treatment (coaching calls plus nicotine replacement therapy [NRT]) or OTH treatment + financial incentives (OTH+FI) for completing coaching calls.

main outcome measuresOutcome measures included the number of coaching calls completed, call-contingent incentives earned, past 7-day self-reported abstinence rates, and study retention at 8- and 12-weeks post-enrollment.

resultsParticipants (N=165) were predominantly female (63.6%), 24.2% were racially/ethnically minoritized (18.2% single- or multi-race American Indian), and they smoked an average of 21.01 (SD=11.67) cigarettes per day. Adjusted analyses indicated that participants assigned to OTH+FI were significantly more likely than those assigned to OTH to report past 7-day abstinence at the 8-week (AOR=2.28; 95% CI=1.18, 4.48) and 12-week (AOR=2.00; 95% CI=1.03, 3.96) follow-ups when missing outcomes were considered smoking. Participants assigned to OTH+FI were more likely to complete ≥3 coaching calls (AOR=3.64; 95% CI=1.84, 7.43), and they completed more total calls (aRR=1.53; 95% CI,=1.24, 1.90) than those assigned to OTH. The number of coaching calls completed significantly mediated the relationship between treatment group assignment and abstinence at the 8- and 12-week follow-ups. Overall, study retention was >83% at the 8- and 12-week follow-ups and did not differ between groups. Statistical analyses were conducted in 2024.

conclusionsFindings support the feasibility and efficacy of offering small FI for completing OTH coaching calls to increase treatment engagement and smoking cessation in PPCs.
