Problem Recognition as A Discrete Concept for Change Processes in Problematic Alcohol Use.
Review in Current addiction reports, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 5 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
Purpose of review: Alcohol problem recognition reflects the extent to which a person with any level of problematic alcohol use (PAU), including hazardous alcohol use, acknowledges the associated risks/harms as potentially/actually problematic with a relative degree of objectivity. Notably, alcohol problem recognition is typically low amongst people with PAU not engaged in treatment or support. This review evaluates existing PAU problem recognition measures and related concepts such as ambivalence, readiness to change, motivation, cognitive biases and other self-evaluative appraisal processes. Recent findings: Alcohol problem recognition has been operationalised via various measures but is often conflated with other related but theoretically distinct concepts. Limited conceptual work examines the nature of problem recognition as a discrete concept and its function in relation to behaviour change outcomes and key variables. Summary: Problem recognition is proposed as an important theoretically distinct process that warrants further conceptual development and testing for advancing understanding of change processes across the PAU spectrum.
