Article in International journal of environmental research and public health, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
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
backgroundThe "problem of drugs" is a complex phenomenon with different social dimensions. Thus, the strategy to care for people who use drugs should consider their social support networks, which are defined here as dimensions that compose the social integration of people.
objectiveIn this paper, we investigate how social support networks are organized, structured, and constituted according to clients of a mental health service dedicated to treat alcohol and drug abuse.
methodsParticipant observation was employed in a mental health service for three months, and six interviews and three groups of activities were conducted with local clients.
resultsThe results demonstrated that the social network of this group is composed of informal and formal social supports: the former includes family, religious institutions, and work, and the latter was represented by a few institutions. However, there are few supports that contribute to the social inclusion and participation of these clients.
conclusionsCare actions should expand social networks, helping to create more solid relationships, considering the macro and micro social-life dimensions. Occupational therapists can contribute to this process by driving their action toward social life, building more social participation strategies, and reconfiguring care and social meaning in everyday life.
