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.

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.

Abstract

Background: Smoking prevalence among U.S. adults experiencing homelessness is ≥70 %. Interventions are needed to address persisting tobacco disparities. Methods: Adults who smoked combustible cigarettes (CC) daily ( Results: Participants were predominantly male (75 %), 50 % were racially/ethnically minoritized, with an average age of 48.8 years. Descriptive analyses indicated that CC smoking abstinence rates among EC and EC+FI were 3.3 % vs. 13.3 % at 4 weeks (8.3 % overall) and 10.0 % vs. 13.3 % at 8 weeks (11.7 % overall) in the intent-to-treat analyses (missing considered smoking). Among those who completed follow-ups (51.7 % and 45.0 % at 4- and 8-weeks), CC abstinence rates in EC and EC+FI were 6.3 % vs. 26.7 % at 4 weeks (16.1 % overall) and 21.4 % vs. 30.8 % at 8 weeks (25.9 % overall). EC+FI participants reported fewer days of smoking, more days of e-cigarette use, and greater reductions in CO at 4-week follow-up. Most participants reported a high likelihood of switching to e-cigarettes (67.7 %). Conclusion: E-cigarette switching with financial incentives for CC cessation is a promising approach to tobacco harm reduction among adults accessing shelter services. Refinements are needed to improve engagement.
