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

Individuals involved with the criminal legal system (CLS) face significant challenges upon release from carceral settings, particularly those with substance use disorders (SUD), including opioid overdose rates considerably greater than the general population. Recovery homes play a pivotal role in providing a supportive and stable living environment for individuals reentering the community. However, little is known about recovery homes' ability to assist residents in meeting court-ordered requirements and facilitating connections to community resources. Findings from focus groups conducted with staff from four Level 3 recovery homes as part of a larger comparative case study show recovery home staff are crucial to the long-term success of CLS-involved individuals. Staff leverage their lived experience to create a safe, trusting environment, channeling residents' energy into structured recovery plans that build incremental stability. They provide in-house programming, connect residents to community resources, assist with probation/parole conditions, and shield against situations that might hinder recovery. This study highlights the crucial role of recovery home staff in bridging the gap between courts and CLS-involved residents, supporting long-term recovery and reentry. We recommend future research to explore intra-agency models where staff expertise can drive system-level changes for sustained recovery and reintegration.
