Relative and Interactive Associations of Psychosocial Intervention and Alcoholics Anonymous Attendance With Alcohol Use Disorder Outcomes.
Trial report in Journal of studies on alcohol and drugs, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 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
objectivePsychosocial intervention and Alcoholics Anonymous (AA)/mutual help organization attendance are both associated with alcohol use disorder (AUD) outcomes. However, no research has explored the relative or interactive associations of psychosocial intervention and AA attendance with AUD outcomes.
methodThis was a secondary analysis of data from the Project MATCH (Matching Alcoholism Treatments to Client Heterogeneity) outpatient arm participants (
resultsWhen accounting for AA attendance and other variables, attending more psychosocial intervention sessions was consistently associated with fewer drinking days and heavy drinking days after intervention. AA attendance was consistently associated with a lower percentage of drinking days at 1 and 3 years after intervention, when accounting for psychosocial intervention attendance and other variables. Analyses failed to identify an interaction between psychosocial intervention attendance and AA attendance with AUD outcomes.
conclusionsPsychosocial intervention and AA attendance are robustly associated with better AUD outcomes. Replication studies comprising samples of individuals who attend AA more than once per week are needed to further test the interactive association of psychosocial intervention attendance and AA attendance with AUD outcomes.
