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.

Abstract

objectiveTo determine if adults with an alcohol use disorder (AUD), who had a preintervention urine ethyl glucuronide (uEtG) level predictive of nonresponse to contingency management (CM), would respond to two intervention modifications (https://clinicaltrials.gov/ ID: NCT03481049).

methodOne hundred fifty-eight adults (53.2% female) with AUD, serious mental illness, and a mean uEtG ≥ 350 ng/mL over a 4-week induction period were randomized to (a) usual CM (uEtG-negative [<150 ng/mL] samples reinforced with $1,686); (b) high magnitude CM (uEtG-negative samples reinforced with $2,983); or (c) shaping CM (reduced drinking [uEtG < 500 ng/mL] samples reinforced for 4 weeks, then uEtG-negative samples reinforced for 12 weeks with $1,686). The primary outcome was uEtG-negative samples during induction and Weeks 5-16 of CM. The relationship between outcomes and uEtG-defined heavy drinking (≥ 500 ng/mL) immediately prior to randomization was assessed.

resultsCM conditions did not differ in uEtG-negative samples during the intervention period, Wald, χ²(2) = 1.96,

conclusionsCM modifications were not associated with lower levels of alcohol use. Participants engaged in less alcohol use during CM, relative to induction. Two patterns of response to CM were observed based on uEtG-defined heavy drinking immediately prior to CM. (PsycInfo Database Record (c) 2025 APA, all rights reserved).
