[Effects of including mutual aid groups in the adherence of a continuing care programme of alcohol dependent patients carried out in a Primary Care setting].
Trial report in Atencion primaria, 2020. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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 demonstrate the effects of including mutual aid associations into a continuing care programme for patients with alcohol dependence carried out by Primary Care teams. SITE: Primary Care Teams belonging to the attendance area of the University Hospital 12 de Octubre at Madrid.
participants207 participants with alcohol dependence treated in an intensive hospital outpatient-setting programme were included in a continuing care programme carried out by a Primary Care team for a four-year period.
interventionsPatients were randomised into two intervention modalities. The first group was followed up while receiving a treatment modality known as «monitoring recovery» (Group A, n = 97). The other group, in addition to the above-mentioned intervention, attended to a mutual aid association included in the Federation of Alcoholics of the Community of Madrid (FACOMA) in which the programme «Help Yourself-Help Us» was carried out (Group B, n = 112). MAIN OUTCOMES: Dropout rates on the sessions designed to monitor their recovery from their alcohol dependence and other comorbid medical conditions.
resultsPatients in Group B reached higher rates of therapeutic adherence to the programme (47.9% vs. 14.7%, p < 0.01), as well as for the comorbid medical issues when compared to Group A.
conclusionsIncluding mutual aid associations that carried out the «Help yourself-Help Us» programme for a four-year period improves outcomes related to therapeutic adherence in patients with alcohol dependence attending Primary Care teams.
