Evidence-based practices are effective in increasing smoke-free home rules among Black women who smoke.
Trial report in Journal of the National Cancer Institute. Monographs, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map.

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.

Abstract
backgroundFew studies have tested the effects of evidence-based practices on increasing smoke-free rules in the homes of Black and/or African American women who smoke cigarettes and/or little cigars or cigarillos and live in rural, low-resource communities. This paper presents findings from a randomized controlled trial that tested an intervention to increase the implementation of comprehensive (cigarettes, cigars, electronic cigarettes [e-cigarettes], hookah, IQOS, pipes) and tobacco product-specific smoke-free home rules at 12-month follow-up among this group.
methodsParticipants (n = 184) received motivational counseling delivered by community health workers, carbon monoxide biofeedback, and culturally relevant health education materials at 1, 3, and 6 months (intervention) or education materials only (control). We examined changes in (1) comprehensive and (2) tobacco product-specific smoke-free home rules between baseline and 12-month follow-up by study arm using binary and multinomial logistic regression with a generalized estimating equation approach (using 2-sided statistical significance tests).
resultsOver time, no difference in the implementation of comprehensive smoke-free home rules was observed by study arm. The intervention group had nearly 4 times higher odds of having a complete ban on cigarette smoking and statistically significantly higher odds of having a complete ban on e-cigarette use in the home compared with the control group.
conclusionsMotivational counseling delivered by a community health worker and culturally relevant health educational materials were effective in increasing cigarette and e-cigarette smoke-free home rules among Black and/or African American women who smoke and reside in rural, low-resource communities. Our approach can inform future interventions that seek to address secondhand smoke exposure among disadvantaged groups (# NCT03476837).
