Treatment Engagement: Female Survivors of Intimate Partner Violence in Treatment for PTSD and Alcohol Use Disorder.
Trial report in Journal of dual diagnosis, 2015. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. It is linked to trial NCT00607412 (AUDs and PTSD Treatment for Victims of Partner Violence), which is not on this map. Cited by 19 papers, 5 of them syntheses 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.

Abstract
objectiveTreatment engagement rates are low for individuals with comorbid posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD) and alcohol use disorders across available interventions and treatment modalities. A better understanding of who does and does not engage in treatment can help improve retention, completion, and subsequent treatment outcomes.
methodsForty female survivors of intimate partner violence with PTSD and alcohol use disorder participated in a randomized controlled trial comparing twenty-five 90-minute sessions of either modified Seeking Safety or Facilitated Twelve-Step in a community-based outpatient clinic. This study examined differences in demographics and pre-treatment PTSD symptoms and alcohol use between participants who engaged in treatment (attended ≥ 6 sessions, n = 18) and those who dropped out (n = 22).
resultsThere were no significant differences in PTSD or alcohol use disorder symptoms between treatment conditions. Women who engaged in therapy versus those who did not were significantly older (M = 46.2, SD = 9.14 vs. M = 38.95, SD = 10.49, respectively; p =.027), and had fewer dependents (M =.17, SD =.38, range = 0-1 vs. M =.95, SD = 1.66, range = 1-7, respectively; p =.046). Greater avoidance/numbing PTSD symptoms (OR = 1.13, p =.028, 95% CI [1.02-1.25]) and more years of heavy drinking (OR = 1.04, p =.03, 95% CI [1.00-1.07]) were also significantly associated with treatment engagement.
conclusionsThis study replicates previous findings suggesting a need for additional retention strategies for younger women with dependents in comorbid PTSD and alcohol use disorder treatment. This is an analysis of data collected as part of a clinical trial registered as NCT00607412, at www.clinicaltrials.gov.
