Momentary predictors of tobacco lapse among African Americans during a quit attempt.
Observational study in Addictive behaviors, 2025. 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
BACKGROUND AND
aimsAfrican American smokers are less likely to successfully quit and experience a greater burden of tobacco-related health outcomes than White individuals. There is a profound need to understand factors that impact tobacco cessation among African Americans who are undergoing a quit attempt. This study aimed to examine the within- and between-person associations of risk factors (motivation, self-efficacy, urge, positive affect, negative affect, smoking expectancies, and cigarette availability) with lapse. DESIGN AND
settingObservational study in the Houston, TX area that used ecological momentary assessment (EMA) to collect data for 10 days following a smoking quit attempt. Multilevel modeling was used to test associations between risk factors and lapse.
participantsN = 211 African American adults, 51 % female, and ages 18-74. MEASUREMENTS: EMA was used to assess risk factors (motivation, self-efficacy, urge, positive affect, negative affect, smoking expectancies, and cigarette availability) and lapse.
findingsAt the within-person level, moments characterized by greater urge, smoking expectancies, and cigarette availability were associated with greater risk of lapse in daily life. At the between-person level, those who had lower motivation and self-efficacy and greater urge, smoking expectancies, and cigarette availability were more likely to lapse in daily life.
conclusionsThe current study addresses important theoretical underpinnings regarding the dynamic nature of predictors of lapse. Although some predictors (urge, smoking expectancies, cigarette availability) did have a significant effect with lapse in expected directions, between person effects may be increasingly important in this population, and additional momentary predictors should be explored in future research.
