Brief intervention in substance use disorders.
Review in Indian journal of psychiatry, 2018. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 26 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
Unhealthy substance use lies on a wide range that extends from occasional mild risky/harmful/hazardous use to severe substance use disorder. Brief intervention (BI) is a technique, used to initiate change for an unhealthy or risky substance use. It can be delivered by a vast array of trained professionals, in opportunistic settings (i.e. in people seeking help not for their substance use, but either its consequences or for completely unrelated physical or psychiatric disorders), and across substances, age and ethno-cultural groups. The six common elements of BIs are summarized by the acronym FRAMES, consisting of Feedback, Responsibility, Advise, Menu for change, Empathy, and enhancing Self-efficacy. BI has also been strategically combined with referral to appropriate treatment services. BI has shown efficacy for reducing substance use and its harmful consequences. The evidence for post-BI improved functionality and quality of life are also emerging.
