1 · What the graph read from 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.

2 · The registry

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

backgroundIn addition to increasing the quality of life among concerned significant others (CSOs), Community Reinforcement and Family training (CRAFT) aim at helping CSOs motivate treatment-refusing identified patients (IPs) into treatment through a positive reinforcement process. The aim of the present study was to investigate if the following factors, measured at baseline, have an influence on IP future treatment engagement (1) Type of relation between CSO and the IP (2) The amount of time the CSO spend with the IP (3) if the IP knows that the CSOs seeks help, and (4) The CSO's own alcohol use.

methodsA secondary analysis from the Danish CRAFT study. CSOs completed a self-administered questionnaire at baseline, after three months, and six months. To investigate the relationship between the four variables and treatment engagement, logistic regression was used.

resultsCSO's relation to the IP, the frequency of contact between the CSO and the IP, and the CSO's AUDIT score at the time of the baseline interview were not associated with the IP's treatment engagement. If CSO at baseline had informed the IP that the CSO participated in CRAFT, odds for IP treatment engagement were significantly higher (adjusted OR [(CI)] = 2.29 [1.13; 4.63] (p < 0.05), relative to if IP not being informed.

conclusionsCRAFT has a higher impact on the likelihood for treatment seeking, if the CSOs inform the IP about his or her own help seeking in order to change the situation. The underlying mechanism behind this is needs further investigations.
