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

backgroundSmoking cessation is a healthcare priority, particularly for those at high risk for lung cancer; however, referrals to smoking cessation programs remain inconsistent.

objectivesThis quality improvement project implemented a provider-driven smoking cessation referral tool kit to increase smoking cessation referrals and improve billing practices in a lung cancer screening clinic.

methodsA smoking cessation referral tool kit, including provider education, communication training, and sample scripting aids, was implemented. Smoking cessation referrals and billing practices were assessed prior to and after implementation.

findingsIn January, referrals rose from 13% in 2024 to 33% in 2025, and in February, referrals rose from 16% to 34%, representing gains of 20% and 18%, respectively. Eligible patients billed increased in January from 70% in 2024 to 85% in 2025, and in February from 76% in 2024 to 100% in 2025. Nurses can implement this tool kit to improve smoking cessation referrals and standardize billing practices.
