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

Tobacco use is still a top preventable public health concern in the US. It causes serious health problems, including the cardiovascular system, lungs, mental issues, and cancers. To help tobacco users who want to quit, we developed a chatbot-assisted smoking cessation telehealth intervention targeting adults. This case report describes the development and evaluation of developed telehealth intervention. Utilizing rule-based chatbots and motivational interviewing principles, the study aimed to assess intervention efficacy. Data from four participants revealed varying impacts on motivation, nicotine dependency, and confidence to quit smoking. Most participants reported engaging in suggested strategies for handling tobacco cravings, indicating the potential advantage of chatbot assistance. However, the small sample size limits the generalizability of findings, necessitating further evaluation with a larger group. Despite limitations, this study demonstrates the feasibility and potential effectiveness of chatbot-assisted telehealth interventions in smoking cessation efforts, underscoring the need for future research.
