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.

Abstract

introductionSmoking in pregnancy negatively impacts the mother's and offspring's health. Mobile health, especially mobile phone-based approaches, shows promise in supporting pregnant women to quit smoking. Our previous research indicated that support from laypersons, such as family, friends and coworkers, can increase smoking cessation. Building on these findings, we developed an innovative smartphone application (app) that combines the power of social support with artificial intelligence. The app leverages the unique functionality of smartphones and reinforcement learning (RL) to provide a deeply tailored intervention that continuously adapts while emphasising positive support through reciprocal interactions between the smoker and the support person. Herein, we report the methods used to develop, implement and test the feasibility and effectiveness of a novel adaptive mobile pregnancy tobacco cessation app-based intervention using deep tailoring and a self-nominated supporter. METHODS AND ANALYSIS: The study is a type II hybrid effectiveness-implementation randomised controlled trial. In total, 300 pregnant smokers and their supporters will be randomised to (1) the SmokeFree Together 2.0 app and an RL-based intervention that continuously decides if a counselling call is needed using a fixed algorithm measuring motivation and craving or (2) a control group. The intervention will be administered throughout pregnancy up to 1 month after giving birth, with a 5-month follow-up period and outcome assessments at 3-month and 6-month post partum. Cessation (primary outcome) is defined as 7-day point biochemically verified prevalence of tobacco use and abstinence since birth, assessed at 6 months post partum. The central hypothesis is that the intervention will show evidence of feasibility and effectiveness in increasing social support, pregnancy cessation and postnatal abstinence. ETHICS AND DISSEMINATION: The Institutional Review Board of Michigan State University (#IRB00000297) approved this trial. The findings will be disseminated through peer-reviewed publications and participation in scientific conferences. TRIAL REGISTRATION NUMBER: NCT05337722. PROTOCOL VERSION: 1.3 from 15.05.2024.
