Impact of a brief peri-operative counselling session on parental awareness of passive smoking in paediatric ambulatory surgery: A single-centre observational study.
Article in European journal of anaesthesiology and intensive care, 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. It is linked to trial NCT07144982 (Impact of a Brief Perioperative Counselling Session on Parental Awareness of Passive Smoking in Paediatric Ambulatory Surgery), 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
backgroundExposure to second-hand smoke (SHS) from parents increases paediatric peri-operative respiratory risk, yet peri-operative screening and counselling are rarely implemented.
objectiveTo assess whether a single brief counselling session delivered during the paediatric ambulatory surgery pathway increases parental awareness of SHS harms and influences short-term self-reported behaviour.
designProspective observational before-after study with 30-day follow-up.
settingSingle-centre tertiary-level university hospital ambulatory surgery unit, Liège, Belgium; data collected from 7 November 2024 to 27 March 2025. PATIENTS: Parents who self-reported active tobacco use and whose child was scheduled for elective paediatric ambulatory surgery at the University Hospital of Liège, Belgium. Of 43 eligible dyads, 31 parents consented and completed baseline and immediate postintervention questionnaires; 26 completed 30-day follow-up.
interventionOne standardised ~15-min counselling session by a certified tobacco counsellor covering types of smoke exposure, health and anaesthetic risks and practical measures to reduce household exposure.
main outcome measuresPrimary outcome was change in a summed awareness score (six items, 0 to 10 each; total 0 to 60) from precounselling to immediate postcounselling. Secondary outcomes included item-level changes, session acceptability and self-reported behavioural change at 30 days.
resultsA brief peri-operative counselling session markedly improved parental awareness of SHS. At 30 days, self-reported behavioural change remained modest. The awareness score was exploratory and not formally validated. Randomised studies with objective exposure measures and longer follow-up are needed.
conclusionA single brief peri-operative counselling session improved parental awareness of SHS harms, with limited short-term impact on self-reported behaviour.
