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.

2 · The registry

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

A prospective, single-blind, randomized controlled trial was conducted among 150 adult tobacco users attending the Tobacco Cessation Centre, Government Dental College, Raipur and Chhattisgarh, India. Participants were randomized into three groups: Group I (NRT alone), Group II (NRT + counseling) and Group III (NRT + mCessation). Interventions lasted 12 weeks, with follow-ups at 1 and 3 months. The overall quit rate was 34%. Group II demonstrated the highest success rate (44%), followed by Group III (30%) and Group I (28%). Significant reductions in nicotine dependence, CO levels and cigarette consumption were observed in all groups, with Group II showing the most marked improvements. Behavioral counseling combined with pharmacotherapy is the most effective strategy for smoking cessation.
