The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 4 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
objectiveThis systematic review (1) updates the evidence base on outpatient behavioral treatments for adolescent substance use (ASU) since publication of the previous review completed for this journal by Hogue, Henderson, Becker, and Knight (2018); and (2) addresses public health concerns related to youth marijuana and opioid use.
methodWe first summarize the earlier updates, along with those from recent literature reviews and meta-analytic studies, of ASU treatments. We then present study design and methods criteria used to identify five comparative studies subjected to JCCAP level of support evaluation. We detail these five studies in terms of their sample characteristics, quality of evidence, and substance use outcomes. Cumulative level of support designations are then made for each identified treatment approach.
resultsThese cumulative designations are identical to those of the previous review: ecological family-based treatment, individual cognitive-behavioral therapy, and group cognitive-behavioral therapy are Well-Established; behavioral family-based treatment and motivational interviewing are Probably Efficacious; drug counseling is Possibly Efficacious; and five multicomponent treatments (three of which include contingency management) are Well-Established or Probably Efficacious.
conclusionsTo address pressing issues in ASU treatment, we discuss best practices and promising research on behavioral and medication interventions for marijuana use and opioid use. We conclude with opportunities for advancing ASU treatment science in the areas of technology-based intervention, co-occurring disorders, addiction recovery, and access to and delivery of evidence-based approaches.
