Changing motives for use: outcomes from a cognitive-behavioral intervention for marijuana-dependent adults.
Trial report in Drug and alcohol dependence, 2014. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 28 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled it.
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
backgroundMotives for use have been identified as important predictors of substance use and related problems; however, little is known about how motives for use change following an intervention and how this change may impact future substance use behaviors. The present study sought to describe change in motives following an intervention for marijuana-dependent adults. Furthermore, investigators examined change in motives as a predictor of treatment outcome.
methodThe study randomized 74 adults to one of two conditions: both of which received 9-sessions base treatment of cognitive behavioral therapy and motivational enhancement therapy and had access to additional sessions of cognitive behavioral treatment on an as-needed basis. The experimental condition received two additional "check-ups" during the course of follow-up.
resultsSignificant decreases in reported frequency of motives used were observed following treatment. Changes in Expansion and Coping were associated with differential treatment outcomes. Decreases in Expansion were associated with poorer treatment outcome, while decreases in Coping were associated with better treatment outcome.
conclusionsThe relationship between expansion motives and outcomes was paradoxical. Although there were some inconsistencies in the findings, the results regarding the coping motive were consistent with hypotheses and may have important implications for treatment.
