Disparities in Smoking Cessation Treatment Among Immigrants and Potential Barriers to Care.

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
introductionDespite lower smoking prevalence than U.S.-born individuals, immigrants face disparities in smoking cessation treatment. Insurance status and limited English proficiency (LEP) impede their healthcare access, but their impact on tobacco cessation treatment remains unclear. This study examines smoking cessation treatment differences between immigrants and U.S.-born individuals and explores potential barriers to access for immigrants.
methodsData from the 2018 and 2020 Medical Expenditure Panel Survey were analyzed. Variables regarding demographics, insurance status, time spent in the U.S., and English proficiency were examined. Chi-squared and binomial logistic regression were used to compare smoking cessation treatment between U.S.-born individuals and immigrants and to understand differences within the immigrant subsample.
resultsAmong 3727 daily smokers surveyed, 247 were immigrants (6.6%). Immigrants had lower odds than U.S.-born individuals of being asked about tobacco use by healthcare providers (OR = 0.66, 95% CI [0.47-0.93]). Within the immigrant subgroup, those without insurance had lower odds of being asked about tobacco use (OR = 0.26, 95% CI [0.11-0.62]) and had lower odds of being advised to quit smoking in the past year (OR = 0.29, 95% CI [0.12-0.69]). Immigrants who had LEP were less likely to have ever been asked about tobacco use (OR = 0.44, 95% CI [0.20-0.94]).
conclusionThese findings highlight that persistent disparities in healthcare, namely insurance status and language barriers, may hinder access to smoking cessation treatment services in immigrant populations. Future research should focus on developing interventions that address these barriers while promoting cultural competency and linguistically appropriate care.
