1 · What the graph read from it

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

backgroundSmokers have increased complications after surgery. We sought to study the feasibility of a structured virtual smoking cessation bundle.

methodsWe conducted a pilot parallel randomized controlled trial involving adult smokers scheduled for elective surgery 1 or more weeks after enrolment. The intervention bundle consisted of an emailed video and brochure, QuitNow referral, and pharmacy referral. The control group received usual care of uncoordinated advice on smoking cessation. Perioperative caregivers, but not participants, were blinded to group allocation. The primary outcome was the participant's self-reported uptake of smoking cessation information and available resources.

resultsWe enrolled the target 30 patients (15 intervention and 15 control). The recruitment rate was 0.8 patients/wk; 59% (30/51) of all eligible patients were enrolled. By day of surgery, 1 patient withdrew from the study and 1 was lost to follow-up. The median (interquartile range [IQR]) number of smoking cessation resources used was higher in the intervention group than in the control group on the day of surgery (1 [IQR 1 to 3] v. 0 [IQR 0-1],

conclusionPatients in the intervention group reported more use of smoking cessation resources than those in the control group. This pilot trial demonstrated that a virtually delivered preoperative smoking cessation bundle was feasible and acceptable to patients.
