Article in The American journal of drug and alcohol abuse, 2021. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. It is linked to trial NCT07178158 (Enhancing Addiction Treatment Through Psychoeducation), which is not on this map. Cited by 13 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled it.

1 · What the graph read from 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.

Abstract

backgroundSubstance use during adolescence can have a number of negative consequences and interfere with normal brain development. Given limited time and resources, brief group- and school-based prevention programs are an efficient strategy for educating youth about the effects of substance use on health outcomes.

objectivesTo determine if a science-based, interactive substance prevention program could improve student knowledge and influence students' attitudes toward future substance use behaviors.

methodsThe

resultsAfter the program, 94% of students reported that it provided helpful information; 92% reported it may influence their approach to substance use, with 76% specifying that they would delay or cut back on substance use. Knowledge-based test performance increased by 78%, with high schoolers displaying significantly higher scores than middle schoolers, but both showing similar improvements in scores. Students who reported higher levels of friends' substance use had smaller improvements from pre- to posttest.
