Neuropsychological Assessment Battery-Screening Module (S-NAB): performance in treatment-seeking cocaine users.
Trial report 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 5 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
unlabelledAbstract Background: Cocaine use is associated with cognitive impairments, which can have a negative effect on treatment retention and drug use. Thus, there is an increasing demand for a screening cognitive battery can be used by clinicians to detect such impairments in cocaine patients so that treatment can be adapted to patients' specific cognitive strengths and deficits. The Neuropsychological Assessment Battery-Screening Module (S-NAB) test for adults takes approximately 35-45 min to administer, and assesses attention, language, memory (verbal and visual), visual spatial reasoning, and executive functioning.
objectiveThe purpose of this descriptive study was to present S-NAB score results for a sample of treatment seeking adult cocaine users to determine its potential utility for detecting cognitive impairments in this population.
methodsIn the present sample, 145 adult cocaine users participated in screening to enroll in an intervention to decrease cocaine use (59% male; 73.1% African American); screening included the S-NAB and self-report questionnaires.
resultsA substantial proportion of the sample (44%) met criteria for impairment, i.e. composite scores of one or more standard deviations below the mean. Furthermore, memory scores were significantly lower than language and spatial scores (p < 0.007).
conclusionsThe impairments detected by the S-NAB were generally consistent with those previously observed in samples of cocaine users completing other batteries, as well in other substance abusing samples completing the S-NAB. This suggests that the S-NAB can be considered an additional appropriate battery, as an alternative to other existing batteries, for assessment of the cognitive functioning of adult cocaine users.
