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
introductionIntentions to quit are the strongest predictor of successful smoking cessation and future quit attempts. This study assesses factors associated with quit intentions among adults who smoke in Spain.
methodsData are from the 2021 International Tobacco Control (ITC) EUREST-PLUS Spain Wave 3 Survey, a nationally representative survey of adults aged ≥18 years who smoke (n=1006). Analysis was restricted to 867 adults who provided information about quit intentions. Multivariable Poisson regression was used to examine several correlates of quit intentions. Adjusted prevalence ratios (APR) were estimated.
resultsLess than half (45.6%) of adults who smoke reported intending to quit, with only 13.0% intending to quit in the next 6 months; 11.3% reported at least one quit attempt in the past year. Factors associated with quit intentions were having a high income (APR=1.39; 95% CI: 1.01-1.92), having at least one quit attempt in the previous year (APR=1.41; 95% CI: 1.16-1.71), worrying that smoking will damage one's health (APR=1.52; 95% CI: 1.05-2.20), regretting starting to smoke (agree, APR=1.25; 95% CI: 1.03-1.52; disagree, APR=0.66; 95% CI: 0.46-0.95), health concerns (APR=1.46; 95% CI: 1.17-1.82), and smoking restrictions in public places (APR=1.28; 95% CI: 1.06-1.54).
conclusionsOnly13% of adults from Spain who smoke intend to quit in the next 6 months. Factors associated with quitting were high income, at least one quit attempt in the past year, worrying about health damage from smoking, regretting starting to smoke, having health concerns, and smoking restrictions in public places. There is a need for comprehensive measures that encourage and support people to quit.
