Examining the influence of adolescent:provider alliance on youth hazardous drinking: Findings from a randomized controlled trial.
Trial report in Addictive behaviors, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. It is linked to trial NCT03367858 (Motivational Interviewing and Neuroimaging With Adolescents), which is not on this map. Cited by 2 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.

Abstract
purposeBehavioral interventions to reduce hazardous drinking are only moderately successful in promoting sustained behavior change and post-intervention effect sizes among adolescents remain modest. This study aimed to explore a relevant therapeutic active ingredient, adolescent:provider alliance, as a moderator of short-term (3 month) adolescent intervention outcomes within the course of a larger parent randomized control trial (RCT).
methodsParticipants were community-based youth engaged in hazardous drinking (N = 168) who were randomized to 2 sessions of either motivational interviewing (MI) or mindfulness (brief adolescent mindfulness; BAM). Youth reported pre-intervention hazardous drinking at baseline and rated therapeutic alliance (a metric of adolescent:provider "connectedness" that helps facilitate working relationships during interventions) immediately post-intervention; they reported hazardous drinking again at 3 months post-intervention. Negative binomial regressions predicted post-intervention hazardous drinking score from adolescent:provider alliance, intervention condition, and their interaction.
resultsMean hazardous drinking was reduced by 34-40 % across both intervention conditions, with no significant between-condition differences. Stronger adolescent:provider alliance was associated with lower hazardous drinking scores at 3 months, but this effect was attenuated after controlling for baseline hazardous drinking. Contrary to predictions, adolescent:provider alliance did not appear to moderate the effect of intervention condition in this sample of young people engaged in hazardous drinking.
conclusionsConsistent with prior literature, baseline hazardous drinking was a robust predictor of treatment outcomes. At the same time, these results suggest that future work may benefit from continuing to examine and disaggregate the nature of adolescent:provider alliance across the spectrum of empirically supported brief interventions for adolescent hazardous drinking.
