Treatment adherence and competency ratings among therapists, supervisors, study-related raters and external raters in a clinical trial of a 12-step facilitation for stimulant users.
Trial report in Journal of substance abuse treatment, 2014. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 6 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
This study investigated the correspondence among four groups of raters on adherence to STAGE-12, a manualized 12-step facilitation (TSF) group and individual treatment targeting stimulant abuse. The four rater groups included the study therapists, supervisors, study-related ("TSF expert") raters, and non-project related ("external") raters. Results indicated that external raters rated most critically mean adherence - the mean of all the adherence items - and global performance. External raters also demonstrated the highest degree of reliability with the designated expert. Therapists rated their own adherence lower, on average, than did supervisors and TSF expert raters, but therapist ratings also had the poorest reliability. Findings highlight the challenges in developing practical, but effective methods of fidelity monitoring for evidence based practice in clinical settings. Recommendations based on study findings are provided.
