Predictors of dropout from psychosocial treatment in opioid-dependent outpatients.
Trial report in The American journal on addictions, 2013. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. It is linked to trial NCT00430482 (Stress, Distress Intolerance, and Drug Dependence), which is not on this map. Cited by 30 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

Abstract
BACKGROUND AND
objectivesEarly dropout is common in substance abuse treatment settings and may lead to poorer outcomes relative to those completing a full course of treatment. Attempts to identify predictors of dropout have yielded mixed results, highlighting the need for additional research in this area to clarify risk and protective factors to guide intervention and retention efforts. This study evaluated predictors of dropout from psychosocial treatment among opioid-dependent patients on methadone maintenance therapy.
methodsParticipants included 78 patients who had failed to respond to at least 4 months of methadone maintenance plus group counseling with clinic substance abuse counselors, and were enrolled in a study of randomized psychosocial treatment in addition to treatment-as-usual. Several factors that have been implicated in previous studies as well as two affective variables (distress intolerance and coping motives for drug use) were examined.
resultsResults indicated that when controlling for various risk factors, age was the only significant predictor of dropout, with younger patients more likely to discontinue treatment early.
conclusionsThis study replicates previous findings in opioid-dependent samples that younger patients are at an increased risk of early treatment dropout. CONCLUSIONS AND SIGNIFICANCE: Targeted intervention may be needed to retain young patients in drug abuse treatment.
