Factors Influencing the Use of the Text2Quit Feature in the Virginia Quitline Program.
Article in American journal of preventive 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
introductionText messaging interventions for smoking cessation are widely available across the U.S. However, their utilization is less studied. Understanding demographic and regional factors influencing the use of these programs can help optimize their reach and effectiveness.
methodsIndividuals aged 18 years and older who used the Text2Quit component of the Virginia Quitline (VAQL) from 2018 to 2022 were analyzed. Quitline users were categorized into two groups: Text2Quit users and non-Text2Quit users. County-level smoking rates and socioeconomic features were obtained from the Behavioral Risk Factor Surveillance System for 2018 to 2022 and the corresponding years of American Community Survey. Logistic regression analysis assessed the association of individual and county-level factors with Text2Quit enrollment.
resultsOf 14,959 VAQL users, 36.58% enrolled in Text2Quit. Those who used Text2Quit were younger (54.18 vs. 57.08 years, p<0.001), more likely to have a college education (45.50% vs. 40.08%, p<0.001), and more likely to live in counties with higher smoking rates (14.89% vs. 13.94%, p<0.001), and have better cellular data coverage (71.58% vs. 66.41%, p<0.001). Logistic regression revealed that increasing age (OR=0.98, p<0.001), lower educational attainment (OR=0.84, p<0.001), and residence in Appalachian counties (OR=0.87, p=0.002) were associated with lower odds of Text2Quit enrollment. Conversely, better county-level cellular data plan coverage (OR=1.04, p<0.001) was significantly associated with increased Text2Quit enrollment.
conclusionsText2Quit use differs in demographic and regional aspects, with cellular data coverage being a significant factor in enrollment in this specific cessation program. These findings support the notion that access to technology, such as cellular data coverage, is a health equity issue, particularly in rural areas and Appalachia.
