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

Cigarette craving, triggered by smoking-related cues, significantly contributes to resumption of smoking after cessation. This study investigated whether affect labeling, the cognitive technique of using words to regulate emotions, could be adapted to regulate cue-induced craving. Fifty adults who smoked cigarettes daily (24 women, ages 20-65) completed a novel Cue Labeling Task during fMRI. In this task, participants viewed cigarette-cue images under three conditions: cue matching (craving elicitation), cue labeling (experimental condition), and gender labeling (control). In a fourth condition, neutral matching (baseline), they matched neutral images with one another. Participants rated their cigarette craving in each condition. Relative to cue matching, cue labeling elicited lower craving (p < 0.05, Hedges' g = -0.11) and lower activation in the precuneus (Z = -4.5, p
