Reducing tobacco and nicotine use among women in treatment for substance use disorder: evaluation of the knit to quit program.
Article in Arts & health, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the 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.
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
introductionTobacco and nicotine use are prevalent in residential substance use disorder (SUD) treatment programs that serve pregnant and parenting women. This study evaluated a group intervention that integrates knitting instruction, psychoeducation, and social support to improve readiness to quit and reduce tobacco and nicotine use among this population.
methodsClients and staff in four residential SUD treatment programs were assigned to a six-week group intervention or a wait-list control group. Intervention implementation and preliminary effectiveness were assessed using surveys, interviews, and observational measures.
resultsFrom pre- to post-test, knowledge related to tobacco and nicotine use increased and number of cigarettes smoked per day and nicotine dependence decreased, on average. Additionally, the intervention group reported lower levels of nicotine dependence relative to the control group. Participants described knitting as an enjoyable replacement for smoking and a strategy to regulate stress and emotions.
conclusionsSmoking cessation interventions that include knitting are promising and warrant further testing.
