The Shape of Change: Determining When Mechanisms of Behavior Change Are Active in Cognitive Behavioral Treatment for Alcohol Use Disorder Using Time-Varying Effect Modeling (TVEM).
Article in Journal of studies on alcohol and drugs, 2021. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 papers.
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
objectiveResearch has identified several potential mechanisms of behavior change (MOBCs) in cognitive-behavioral therapy for alcohol use disorder, including alcohol abstinence self-efficacy (AASE), negative affect (NA), and positive affect (PA). However, little is known about when MOBCs affect clinical outcomes during alcohol use disorder treatment. Such information could advance MOBC research by identifying relationships between specific treatment content and variations in MOBCs. This study examined three MOBCs simultaneously to determine their timing and relative influence on percent days abstinent (PDA) and drinks per day (DPD).
methodData were derived from a parent study assessing pretreatment change in drinking. Participants (
resultsAll three MOBCs were associated with PDA and DPD but varied with regard to time course, strength, and direction. For PDA, AASE was positively associated throughout treatment, NA was negatively associated from Sessions 1 to 10, and PA was positively associated from Sessions 1 to 3 and 11 to 12. For DPD, AASE was positively associated from Session 5 to the end of treatment, NA was positively associated throughout treatment although the strength of the association varied and was strongest at the beginning of treatment, and PA was positively associated from Sessions 5 to 12.
conclusionsResults show that MOBCs exert their effects at different times during treatment. In addition to replicating these results, future research should attempt to manipulate MOBCs directly and examine their influence on alcohol outcomes.
