American Indian Persons' Perspectives on Various Smoking Cessation Aids and Approaches: A Community-Engaged Qualitative Research Study.
Article in Nicotine & tobacco research : official journal of the Society for Research on Nicotine and Tobacco, 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
introductionIncreasing smoking cessation among American Indian (AI) persons is a critical equity goal. AIMS AND
methodsDuring 2022, AI persons (N = 46) were interviewed on perceptions of existing and novel cessation approaches. Intention to use each approach was assessed and questions started with "cold turkey" and then queried about the following: nicotine patches, gum, lozenges (NRT); prescription medications; plant-based medications; personalized medicine; e-cigarettes; and nicotine reduction standard (NRS).
resultsPerspectives informed the identification of six crosscutting themes which were (a) environmental constraints, (b) addictiveness and side effects, (c) effectiveness of approach, (d) interpersonal influence, (e) duration or requirements of approach, and (f) novelty. Plant-based medications were viewed as natural, less likely to cause side effects, and aligned with AI cultures. Regarding NRT, many participants talked about positive word-of-mouth but noted concerns about effectiveness, side effects, and price. Regarding personalized medicine, many indicated curiosity, but some noted it would delay treatment and was too extreme to share a sample. Common perspectives for cold turkey were its drug-free nature and cost savings, but some noted it does not address cravings. Regarding the NRS, many were supportive, although some were concerned with compensatory smoking and what else remains in the cigarettes.
conclusionsThemes translated to the greatest proportion of participants stating they would use plant-based medications followed by NRT and personalized medicine. Fewer participants reported intent to use prescription medications and e-cigarettes which reflect greater concerns with these approaches. IMPLICATIONS: Results can inform tribal and other public health programming and communication efforts to increase smoking cessation among AI persons and help drive down disparities.
