Contingency management treatments are equally efficacious for both sexes in intensive outpatient settings.
Trial report in Experimental and clinical psychopharmacology, 2015. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. It is linked to trial NCT04927143 (Encouraging Abstinence Behavior in a Drug Epidemic), which is not on this map. Cited by 18 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

Abstract
Clear differences are present in men and women's developmental course of substance use disorders. Whether these sex differences affect substance abuse treatment outcomes is less apparent. The present study investigated sex differences in demographic and intake characteristics and assessed sex, treatment condition, and interactive effects on 3 treatment outcomes: treatment retention, longest duration of abstinence, and percentage of negative samples submitted. Participants (N = 920) were randomized to contingency management (CM) for abstinence or standard care treatment in 1 of 5 clinical trials. In terms of pretreatment characteristics, women reported lower educational achievement and more unemployment; were younger and more likely to submit a positive urine sample at intake; and experienced more problems in employment, drug, family, and psychiatric domains. Men reported more years of alcohol use and significantly higher alcohol and legal problem severity. Men and women stayed in treatment for similar durations of time and had similar abstinence outcomes. No significant Sex × Treatment Condition interactions were present across the 3 outcomes. These results suggest that treatment-seeking substance users in intensive outpatient settings benefit equally well from CM interventions, regardless of sex.
