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.

2 · The registry

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: Tobacco is a highly addictive substance which makes quitting tobacco more difficult. Various factors are crucial in initiating, supporting and maintaining tobacco abstinence. Family contributes an essential role in quitting and managing addictive behaviours. However, there is sparse of research work on the impact of presence of tobacco user in family and age of onset of tobacco use behaviour. The objectives were to assess the effect of presence of tobacco user in family on age of onset of tobacco use and its role in tobacco quitting. Methods and Material: The study was quantitative research with cross-sectional design, conducted among 400 recent quitters. The mean age of study participants was 17.17 ± 1.24 years. Sociodemographic and selected variables of study participants were assessed via a self-structured questionnaire, and tobacco abstinence was measured through tobacco craving questionnaire SF and the Smoking Abstinence Questionnaire. Results: The mean age of tobacco initiation of participants with tobacco user in family vs no tobacco user in family was 14.04 vs 17.51 years. Tobacco craving mean scores were high among participants having tobacco user in family. The mean scores for maintenance of tobacco abstinence in participants with tobacco user in family were high for adverse outcomes, withdrawals, and weight gain. However, the mean scores were less for social improvement, social support, common reasons to quit, and optimistic outcomes. The difference in both groups were statistically significant Conclusions: The presence of tobacco user increases tobacco craving and decreases maintenance of abstinence among recent quitters. Early onset of tobacco use behaviour associated with presence of tobacco user in family. Focus must be put on treating all the tobacco users in a family simultaneously.
