Dual diagnosis competencies: A systematic review of staff training literature.
Article in Addictive behaviors reports, 2018. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. An erratum has been issued. Cited by 11 papers, 3 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.
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
objectiveTo conduct a systematic review of the literature regarding approaches to staff training in dual diagnosis competencies.
methodsA search was conducted using eight databases: Informit, Taylor & Francis, Springer, Proquest, Expand, Sage, Psych info, Elsevier and Cinahl. The year range was 2005 to April 2015. An additional manual search of reference lists was conducted to ensure relevant articles were not overlooked.
resultsOf 129 potential results, there were only 11 articles regarding staff training in dual diagnosis. The limited studies included problems: small sample sizes, selection biases, and questions as to validity of some capability instruments, and low inclusion of service user perspectives. Organisational challenges to greater uptake of staff training including agency size, agency willingness to change, and a need to change policies.
conclusionsThere is a pressing need for more research, and quality research, in this important area of knowledge translation, dissemination and implementation of evidence-based practices. In particular there is limited literature regarding the efficacy of dual diagnosis competency resources, and a gap as to use of the mentoring in dual diagnosis capacity building.
