Integrating the smoke-free app into a multicomponent intervention for people with mental health conditions who smoke: a short report of a service-improvement project.
Article in BMJ 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
Background: Evidence on designing and testing digital interventions for patients with mental health conditions is emerging. However, little is known about supporting patient needs and mitigating risks when offering smoking cessation apps in this population. We aimed to identify patient support needs and factors influencing patient safety when interacting with the Smoke Free app. Methods: Workshops and interviews were conducted with members of a patient and public involvement (PPI) panel and mental health professionals (MHPs). Feedback from PPI members was summarised, and MHP interviews were thematically analysed. Results: Five PPI members and six MHPs participated. PPI members identified support needs for app use, including tailored demonstrations and reassurance about data confidentiality. MHPs identified safety concerns, including potential misuse of the in-app advisors, risky social interactions when using in-app peer support groups and exacerbation of mental health symptoms related to sharing personal information. Conclusion: An onboarding session, resources and procedures to support the mitigation of key risks were developed to support patients discharged from acute mental health settings when interacting with the Smoke Free app. The next stage is to deliver the multi-component intervention in a randomised controlled feasibility study, including a process evaluation to assess app uptake and engagement.
