Characterizing the Impact of Dyadic Motivations to Quit on Cessation Outcomes in Dual-Smoking Couples.

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
Introduction: Among dual-smoking couples, both partners have smoking-related motivations that may either facilitate or hinder cessation efforts. Existing research typically focuses on individual-level motivation, which may be inadequate for capturing aspects of concordance and discrepancy. This study characterized couples' motivational profiles and examined their associations with smoking cessation outcomes. Methods: We conducted secondary analyses from a randomized controlled pilot study of 95 dual-smoking couples to examine how dyadic motivations to quit smoking predicted individual and joint point-prevalence abstinence at 3 months. Both partners reported their own motivation to quit (self-oriented) and their motivation for their partner to quit (partner-oriented). We examined dyadic motivation to quit smoking on abstinence across four goal characterizations: (1) Parallel Goals (partners' self-oriented motivations), (2) System-Oriented Goals (an individual's self- and partner-oriented motivation), (3) Shared Target Goals (both partners' motivation for one individual to quit), and (4) Parallel Partner-Oriented Goals (each partner's motivation for the other to quit). Using response surface analyses with logistic regression, we estimated the effects of alignment (a Results: For individual cessation, quitting odds were higher when self-motivation or partner-oriented motivation aligned within the couple ( Conclusion: The findings highlight the role of dyadic motivations in predicting individual and dyadic abstinence among dual-smoking couples. Couple-based interventions that aim to increase and align partners' motivations to quit could improve cessation outcomes in this population.
