Smoking cessation with CBT and mindfulness: study protocol for a randomized controlled trial.
Article in Trials, 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. It is linked to trial NCT06901713 (Protocol for a Smoking Cessation Program With CBT Text and Mindfulness Audio Support), which is not on this 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.

Abstract
introductionTobacco smoking remains a significant global health issue, contributing to preventable morbidity and mortality. Smoking cessation is often hindered by cravings and emotional distress. Cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) has shown promise in addressing these issues, and the integration of mindfulness techniques, such as audio-guided exercises, may further enhance its effectiveness by coping with cravings, boosting self-awareness and emotional regulation. We aim to determine the efficacy of the combined program of CBT text with mindfulness audio support.
methodsThis study is a parallel-group, assessor-blinded randomized controlled trial (RCT) conducted via an online WeChat-integrated platform in China, with participants randomly assigned to one of two groups: group A (CBT text only) or group B (CBT text + mindfulness audio). The study will enroll approximately 2000 adult smokers aged 18-65 who smoke at least five cigarettes per day and express a desire to quit. The intervention will last for 8 weeks, with follow-up assessments conducted at various intervals up to 26 weeks. Primary outcomes include reductions in smoking frequency and craving intensity, as well as improvements in emotional regulation. Secondary outcomes include changes in sleep quality, nicotine dependence, and weight. Data will be collected through online questionnaires and biological verification (cotinine tests) for participants who report abstinence. Statistical analyses will include logistic regression for group comparisons of primary outcomes and mixed-effects models for secondary outcomes. ETHICS AND DISSEMINATION: The study has received ethical approval (No. 2024-2068-01), and participants will provide digital informed consent. All data will be anonymized and stored securely. Results will be disseminated through peer-reviewed publications and may contribute to the development of more effective digital health interventions for smoking cessation.
