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

Objective: A novel quitline intervention (counseling plus provision of alternative forms of nicotine) was developed for people using a smoke-free, alcohol and other drug (AOD) withdrawal service. The objectives were: to code the intervention manual for behavior change techniques (BCTs) and to evaluate bespoke training, delivery of counseling provided (quality, number of BCTs) and acceptability. Methods: The manual was coded for 29 BCTs. Training outcomes were measured by counselor self-reported confidence. Delivery of counseling was analyzed by independent rating of the quality (maximum 100, all components delivered) and number of BCTs used in all recorded calls ( Results: Coding of the manual identified 25/29 BCTs. Counselor ( Conclusion: A novel quitline intervention for residents of smoke-free, AOD withdrawal unit was delivered with high quality, had high acceptability, offered continuity of care pre- to post-discharge and facilitated tobacco cessation. Content of skills training to manage cravings, commenced in residence, was recalled by recipients post-discharge to sustain tobacco abstinence.
