300,000 quitters and counting; A systematic approach to tobacco cessation.

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
Objective: To describe Kaiser Permanente Northern California's (KPNC) systematic implementation of universal tobacco screening, evidence-based interventions, and performance measures to achieve long-term smoking cessation success. Methods: We outline seven key components of KPNC's tobacco screening and intervention program that contributed to a significant decline in smoking prevalence. We also report changes in the prevalence of current smokers within KPNC from 2014 to 2023 using linear regression analyses. Results: Key factors driving the success of the tobacco cessation program included risk-based screening algorithms, alert prompts for at-risk patients, system-wide medical champions, performance tracking, virtual coaching, widespread messaging, and comprehensive medication management. Implementing this multifaceted approach across all facilities was associated with a significant reduction in smoking prevalence, from 8.6% in 2014 to 5.8% in 2023 (p < 0.0001). Conclusion: Our comprehensive, system-wide approach resulted in substantial public health gains and highlights the potential of similar preventive strategies as healthcare systems transition toward value-based care.
