Effectiveness of Extended Screening and Brief Intervention (X-SBI) on Substance Misuse and Related Outcomes in Correctional Settings.

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
Background: Screening and brief intervention (SBI), effective in community health care, show inconsistent results in correctional settings (CS). We hypothesized that SBI needs adaptation for the incarcerated population. The study aimed to evaluate the effectiveness of extended SBI (X-SBI) for substance misuse in CS. Methods: A controlled trial was conducted in two federal CSs in India. X-SBI included coping skills training, risk behavior counseling, and acceptance-based stigma reduction, while the control group received screening, advice, and brief psychoeducation. Both groups received three sessions with 188 participants each, with a "moderate risk" of SUD. Measurements included the Alcohol, Smoking, and Substance Involvement Screening Test (ASSIST), Timeline Follow-up for drug and alcohol use frequency, Overdose Risk Information, HIV risk-taking behavior scales, Self-reporting questionnaire, and Internalized Stigma of Substance Abuse scale. Follow-ups were done at three- and six months post-intervention. Results: All participants were men. No initial differences in ASSIST scores or substance use frequencies were noted. ASSIST scores for all substances were significantly reduced at follow-ups. X-SBI showed better outcomes in reducing ASSIST scores for primary substances and illicit drugs, with small effect sizes (η Conclusion: Integrating three-session X-SBI into CS may effectively address substance misuse. Trial Registration: Clinical Trial Registry, India (Reference No. CTRI/2022/01/0391XX).
