Comparison of Smoking Cessation Outcomes in Smokers With Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease, Coronary Artery Disease, Asthma, and Healthy Smokers: A Prospective Study of 400 Participants.

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
objectivesIn this study, we aimed to demonstrate the effect of motivational interviewing with a specific cohort of smokers on smoking cessation. Furthermore, we investigated the influence of medical conditions and individual traits on the efficacy of motivational interviewing for smoking cessation.
methodsThis prospective study was conducted with smokers who presented at the pulmonology and cardiology outpatient clinic. Routine tests, Fagerstöm nicotine dependence test, and hospital-scale anxiety-depression test were performed. Smoking cessation motivational interviews were conducted by pulmonologists. Patients were evaluated for smoking cessation at the end of the first, third, and sixth months.
resultsThe study encompassed 100 participants from each of the following groups: asthma, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, coronary artery disease, and healthy individuals with a smoking habit. The median age of the participants was 52 (44 to 58) years. Among the 400 patients, 177 (44.2%) were female, with a median age of 50 (42-58) years, and 223 (55.8%) were male, with a median age of 53 (46-59) years. According to smoking cessation, 85 (21.3%) patients quit smoking at the end of the first month. It was 55 (13.8%) at the end of the third month and 42 (10.5%) at the end of the sixth month. According to gender, the cessation of smoking in the sixth month was significantly higher in females.
conclusionWe conducted smoking cessation support interviews with patients and succeeded in smoking cessation in 10.5% of the patients at the end of the sixth month. At the end of the first month of follow-up, smoking cessation success was 20%. Success was higher in the female population than in males.
