Process-of-care measures as predictors of client outcome among a methamphetamine-dependent sample at 12- and 36-month follow-ups.
Trial report in Journal of psychoactive drugs. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 papers.
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
This study examines the utility of several process-of-care performance measures (initiation, engagement, retention, and monitoring of drug use during treatment) as predictors of methamphetamine (MA) use outcomes at 12- and 36-month follow-ups. MA-dependent individuals (n = 871) participated in a randomized, controlled trial of outpatient psychosocial treatment from 1999-2002 and completed 12- and 36-month follow-up interviews. This sample included a treatment-as-usual group (n = 436) and a 16-week Matrix treatment (n = 435) group. Significant associations were observed between select process-of-care measures and MA use outcomes at both follow-ups. While correlational analyses showed an association between MA abstinence at follow-up and enhanced treatment engagement and retention, mixed logistic regression analyses indicated that sustained abstinence from MA during outpatient treatment was the strongest predictor of testing negative for MA use at both follow-ups. Results suggest that monitoring client drug use during treatment may be a useful process-of-care measure with MA-dependent users.
