How to improve smoking cessation support for pregnant women? Guideline implementation in The Netherlands.
Article in Health promotion international, 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
This study aimed to develop and evaluate plans for the implementation of the Dutch guideline 'Treatment of tobacco addiction and smoking cessation support for pregnant women'. Participatory action research was used for the development and evaluation of implementation plans for maternity collaboration units in the north of the Netherlands. Mixed methods were used to evaluate the implementation by using the Reach, Effectiveness, Adoption, Implementation and Maintenance framework. The maternity collaboration units implemented the intervention to refer pregnant women who smoke to a counsellor from addiction care. Twenty-one of the 50 midwifery care practices (42%) and two of the five obstetrics departments (40%) referred women to addiction care. The results showed that of the 558 women who smoked during pregnancy in 2021, 73 women (13%) were referred to addiction care, 58 (10%) started a coaching trajectory and 12 women of the 48 (25%) who finished a coaching trajectory stopped smoking. The results of interviews and focus groups gave insight into the challenges for referral and indicated that the communication between the midwife/counsellor and the pregnant woman is important for counselling. A minority of maternal care professionals referred women to a counsellor from addiction care and a small percentage of women managed to stop smoking. Opportunities in the repetition of implementation strategies and increasing skills in motivational interviewing for maternity care professionals could improve adoption of interventions in future implementation. To increase the effectiveness of the intervention, the counsellors could consider combining their counselling with nicotine replacement therapy, feedback or incentives.
