A comparison of attentional bias towards drug cues in addicts and non-addicts.
Article in International journal of high risk behaviors & addiction, 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
backgroundAccording to recent theories on addiction, attentional bias towards drug-related stimuli plays a pivotal role in the initiation of drug abuse.
objectivesThe present study attempted to investigate attentional bias towards drug-related words in addicts and non-addicts. PATIENTS AND
methodsTo attain the objectives, following a causal-comparative study, a number of 15 addicts under treatment in anonymous groups, and 15 non-addicts from among students at Isfahan University were selected through available sampling. Both groups were evaluated through Stroop test, and the results were analyzed adopting independent t-test.
findingsas indicated by the findings, a significant difference was observed in the two groups concerning color-naming accuracy (P < 0.05, X(2) (1) = 3.896) as well as reaction time (P < 0.0001, X(2) (1) = 17.404). The calculated difference between accuracy and reaction time for congruent and incongruent stimuli was significant.
resultsThe results showed that there was a significant difference between the average reaction time of the two groups. In terms of the number of errors, however, no significant difference was observed.
conclusionsThe attentional bias of drug addicts is associated with drug-related cues or the temptation for drug abuse.
