Effect of criminal justice mandate on drug treatment completion in women.
Article in The American journal of drug and alcohol abuse, 2014. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 8 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
backgroundDrug and alcohol abuse among women is a growing problem in the United States. Drug treatment is an effective way to manage the psychological, biological, financial, and social cost of drug abuse. Prior research has identified criminal justice referrals or coercion as a predictor of treatment completion among men but questions remain about the same effect in women.
objectivesThis study uses the Treatment Episodes Datasets Discharge 2006-2008 (TEDS-D) to explore the association between coercion and treatment completion among women.
methodsAnalysis compared primary treatment episodes of coerced women to those who entered treatment voluntarily. A logistic model of the odds of treatment success was performed controlling for race/ethnicity, age, education, employment, primary substance of abuse, number of substances reported at admission, referral source, treatment setting, and treatment duration.
results582 671 primary treatment episodes were analyzed comparing women with coercion referrals (n = 196 660) to those who entered treatment voluntarily (n = 390 054). Results of multivariable logistic modeling showed that coerced women had better odds of completion or transfer than women who entered voluntarily. However, this association was modified by treatment setting with better odds in ambulatory (OR = 1.49 [1.47, 1.51]) than in inpatient (OR = 1.06 [1.03, 1.10]) and worst outcomes in detoxification (OR = 0.89 [0.84, 0.96]).
conclusionThese results dispute the broad effectiveness of legal mandates across all drug treatment settings among women. They show the need for further recognition of female-specific characteristics that can affect motivation and treatment success to better inform healthcare and judicial policies on drug treatment services for women.
