Type of Social Support for Smoking Cessation Among Low-Income Postpartum Women.
Article in International journal of behavioral medicine, 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
backgroundEfficacious programs to sustain smoking cessation are limited for postpartum women, particularly for those who are low-income. Social support may help enhance cessation efforts. However, the specific types of support potentially associated with cessation success are not well evaluated. The purpose of this study was to assess the relationship between different types of social support and smoking relapse among low-income women in the postpartum phase.
methodA secondary data analysis was completed using data from a single-arm pilot study assessing a smoking cessation intervention for low-income postpartum women. Women were recruited from Philadelphia Women, Infants, and Children clinics (N = 106) and completed a baseline and 1-month follow-up survey. Multivariable logistic regression analyses assessed the relationship between types of social support and smoking relapse, specifically cessation-specific support (Ways of Quitting social support subscale) as well as general (non-smoking focused) social support and its subdomains (i.e., emotional/informational, tangible, affectionate, social positive support (Medical Outcomes Study Social Support Survey)).
resultsParticipants were predominantly non-Hispanic Black (64%), 33% lived with their significant other, and 71% had a household income below $15,000. Most participants had relapsed by the 1-month postpartum assessment (77%). In the final regression models, cessation-specific support was significantly associated with staying smoke free at 1 month postpartum. However, neither general social support nor its subdomains were associated with staying smoke free.
conclusionCessation-specific support may bolster women's cessation attempts during the stressful postpartum period. Smoking cessation interventions should consider integrating cessation-specific support to decrease relapse rates among low-income postpartum women.
