a Probability that each treatment is the best for smoking cessation against the extent of inconsistency within the obtained range. b Ranking of each treatment for successful smoking cessation against the extent of inconsistency within the obtained range. The gray dotted, gray solid, black solid, and black dotted lines indicate the probabilities and rankings corresponding to no intervention, self-help, individual counseling, and group counseling, respectively. A vertical line marks the point at which some lines cross, and the percentages in the dark gray and dim gray boxes represent the proportions of \( \left|{\overline{\omega}}_{jk}\right| \) that resulted in a consistent ranking and an inconsistent ranking of treatments relative to the original ranking, respectively
