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
introductionIn February and March 2022, the Government Delegation for the National Plan on Drugs completed the fourth edition of the survey on the prison population (men and women over 18 years of age) in 78 Spanish prisons.
objectivesThe aim of this survey was to obtain data on socio-demographic characteristics, health, drug use, high-risk practices and treatment for drug use in the prison population in Spain, the aim being to gather useful information to develop and evaluate programs and interventions aimed at preventing and reducing drug use and associated problems in this population. MATERIAL AND
methodA face-to-face personal interview was carried out using a digitalized, anonymous and pre-coded questionnaire (available in Spanish and Arabic) with 5,512 inmates.
resultsThe study reveals that the prevalence of drug use when entering prison decreases for all drugs; this decrease is most striking in alcohol and cocaine use. A downward trend in the prevalence of use in prison was observed for most illegal drugs. Cannabis, which is the most widely used illegal drug, shows a clear downward trend, with its use falling to one third of what it was in 2006. DISCUSSION: The study leads us to conclude that preventive and treatment measures are optimal tools that should continue to be oriented towards the characteristics and profile of this population, which requires a multidisciplinary approach and coordination by the agents and institutions involved. A prison sentence is an opportunity to improve the health of the prison population and to carry out prevention and treatment programs. Work should continue to be done to reduce drug use and the associated risks and problems.
