Why do pregnant women smoke and can we help them quit?
Article in CMAJ : Canadian Medical Association journal = journal de l'Association medicale canadienne, 1995. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
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.
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
As observed by Dr. Linda Dodds (see pages 185 to 190 of this issue), there has been little change in recent years in the smoking rate of about 30% among pregnant women in Nova Scotia. Women who smoke during pregnancy tend to be young, unmarried, undereducated and multiparous and tend not to go to prenatal classes. Many pregnant women find it extremely difficult to stop smoking even when they understand the risks to the fetus. Routine advice given by physicians on smoking cessation is clearly ineffective. However, informed physicians who recognize the difficulty of quitting and offer support and advice in a systematic way can help women to progress through the stages of the smoking cessation process.
