What motivates people with substance use disorders to pursue treatment? A patient-centered approach to understanding patient experiences and patient-provider interactions.
Article in Journal of substance use, 2019. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 15 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
objectivesTo identify and define potential positive and negative factors in patient experiences and patient-provider interactions that are associated with the pursuit and maintenance of treatment by those suffering from substance use disorders (SUD).
methodsTwo focus groups with patients in treatment for SUD were performed. The focus groups focused on questions aimed at mapping factors associated with initiating and maintaining treatment along the transtheoretical model of change. Four in-depth interviews with healthcare providers involved in the treatment of patients with SUD were also conducted to understand providers' perspective on similar factors.
resultsFourteen patients were included in the focus groups. Patients identified their life prior to treatment as chaotic and further identified internal and external factors that influenced seeking treatment. The four healthcare providers identified primarily social issues such as lack of housing as an external barrier. Both patients and providers cited the importance of a trusting and empathetic relationship between the patient and providers, as well as the patient's willingness to change as primary motivating factors for the initiation and maintenance of treatment.
conclusionsFrom a patient and provider perspective, facilitators and barriers for initiating and maintaining may vary by person and are multifactorial.
