Rural-Urban Disparities in Perinatal Smoking in the United States: Trends and Determinants.

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
objectiveTo examine trends in perinatal smoking across rural and urban areas and investigate whether structural and intermediary health factors explain rural-urban disparities.
methodsThis cross-sectional study used data from the Pregnancy Risk Assessment Monitoring System (PRAMS) collected between 2009 and 2021 in the United States. Perinatal smoking patterns were based on self-reported smoking before, during, and after pregnancy. Weighted prevalence estimates with 95% confidence intervals (CIs) were calculated for persistent smoking and cessation, stratified by rural-urban residence. Temporal trends were analyzed using logistic regression. Multivariable weighted logistic regression was performed on Phase 8 data (2016-2021) to examine associations between rural-urban status and perinatal smoking patterns, adjusting for maternal age, year of delivery, region, and structural (e.g., education, Tobacco 21 policy) and intermediary (e.g., perinatal stressors) health determinants. All analyses accounted for the complex survey design.
resultsAlthough perinatal smoking declined over time, prevalence remained consistently higher among rural mothers. From 2009 to 2021, persistent smoking decreased significantly in both rural and urban areas (
conclusionsWhile perinatal smoking declined overall, rural mothers remained more likely to smoke throughout pregnancy. Structural and intermediary determinants partially explained this persistent rural-urban disparity.
