Article in Hong Kong journal of occupational therapy : HKJOT, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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.

Methods: Participants were recruited from people with SUDs who violated the Controlled Drugs Act in Taiwan were mandated to abstinence services by law from January 2016 through October 2021 in Southern Taiwan. Each participant selected a 2-hour for 4 times or 8-hour for one day compulsory treatments and received either the Kawa model based treatment ( Results: There were no significant differences in the stages of change scores at baselines between the 2 groups ( Conclusion: The present study demonstrated initial and preliminary findings that the Kawa Model based therapy may improve readiness for changing drug use behaviors in people with SUDs.
