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
Background: The rate of tobacco use among people with HIV (PWH) is > 2 fold higher vs. the general population and accounts for more life years lost than the virus. Yet, evidence-based tobacco treatments are uncommonly offered by clinicians or used by PWH. Biases informed by behavioral economics concerning tobacco treatments may drive this practice gap. Methods: This formative study tested nudges in the form of messages that target four behavioral economic biases - status quo, availability, omission, and focusing effect - to determine which message would be most strongly associated with PWH willingness to use or clinician referral for tobacco treatment; 19 clinicians and 75 PWH assessed pair-wise comparisons of the four messages with instructions to select the message that, if sent via text or a patient portal, or via the electronic medical record (EMR) at a clinic visit, would increase willingness to use or provide a referral for tobacco treatment. Results: There were significant differences in reported preference across the messages among PWH (χ Conclusions: A message that addressed focusing effect bias was associated with greater interest in the use of or referral for tobacco treatment within HIV care. These results can help design a clinical trial to test the effectiveness of these messages within the clinical workflow for their effects on actual use of and referral for tobacco treatment for PWH.
