'Pickle or a cucumber?' administrator and practitioner views of successful adolescent recovery.
Article in Addiction research & theory, 2017. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 7 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
introductionAdolescent substance use disorders often involve a recurring cycle of treatment and relapse. The academic and practical definition of
methodsUsing a qualitative design, we purposively selected and visited treatment and recovery services sites and interviewed practitioners and administrators (N = 13). Sites included recovery high schools (N = 2), alternative peer groups (N = 4), and one treatment center. Two authors analyzed the data using the constant comparative method.
resultsSuccess emerged from the interviews in three primary themes (1) factors demonstrating success, (2) progress that highlights success, and (3) factors enabling success and two sub-themes (1) use of metaphors and (2) use of specific examples. A variety of factors and processes were discussed as indicators of success. Multiple practitioners stated that sobriety and length of abstinence were not the best success measures; yet, sobriety and education were mentioned most often.
conclusionsA key finding of this study, which has not been addressed in existing qualitative studies of youth recovery, is that the understanding of recovery was so diverse and multi-dimensional and provided a view of success beyond sobriety, highlighting the various facets from which practitioners must operate and address recovery. This demonstrates the need for researchers to carefully conceptualize how they operationalize adolescent recovery.
