Beliefs and attitudes regarding drug treatment: application of the theory of planned behavior in African-American cocaine users.
Article in Addictive behaviors, 2014. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 12 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
backgroundThe Theory of Planned Behavior (TPB) can provide insights into perceived need for cocaine treatment among African American cocaine users.
methodsA cross-sectional community sample of 400 (50% rural) not-in-treatment African-American cocaine users was identified through respondent-driven sampling in one urban and two rural counties in Arkansas. Measures included self-reports of attitudes and beliefs about cocaine treatment, perceived need and perceived effectiveness of treatment, and positive and negative cocaine expectancies. Normative beliefs were measured by perceived stigma and consequences of stigma regarding drug use and drug treatment. Perceived control was measured by readiness for treatment, prior drug treatment, and perceived ability to cut down on cocaine use without treatment.
findingsMultiple regression analysis found that older age (standardized regression coefficient β=0.15, P<0.001), rural residence (β=-0.09, P=0.025), effectiveness of treatment (β=0.39, P<0.001), negative cocaine expectancies (β=0.138, P=0.003), experiences of rejection (β=0.18, P<0.001), need for secrecy (β=0.12, P=0.002), and readiness for treatment (β=0.15, P<0.001) were independently associated with perceived need for cocaine treatment.
conclusionsTPB is a relevant model for understanding perceived need for treatment among African-American cocaine users. Research has shown perceived need to be a major correlate of treatment participation. Study results should be applicable for designing interventions to encourage treatment participation.
