Quitline Queensland: the journey to a globally unique smoking cessation service in Australia.
Article in Frontiers in public health, 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
Smoking cessation programs remain a core component of global efforts to reduce smoking and nicotine addiction. Telephone-based counselling, with or without the provision of nicotine replacement therapy, commonly referred to as Quitlines, has been a cornerstone of smoking cessation programs and they vary in scope and content and the populations they target. We describe the history, and structure of Quitline Queensland, Australia that was implemented in 1997. Quitline Queensland offers intensive quit support programs incorporating 4 weeks of telephone-based counselling, free nicotine replacement therapy mailed to participants and up to 12 months of follow-up. The program has evolved through a strong government commitment to, and support for, evidence-based solutions to reducing the burden of smoking in Queensland. Eligible cohorts have been identified by evidence-based reviews, equity considerations, trends in smoking prevalence and to address new challenges to smoking cessation such as vaping and the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic. New approaches to engaging and retaining smokers and delivering the program are being evaluated and implemented.
