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

-The current study sought to identify social, environment and personality factors associated with giving and receiving help among 205 sober living house (SLH) residents in Los Angeles. Study measures included the Big Five Personality Inventory (BFI), the Recovery Home Environment Scale (RHES), and six scales assessing giving and receiving help in three contexts: SLHs, 12-step meetings, and family/friends. Regression models showed the strength of the social model recovery environment (measured by the RHES) and three personality traits (openness, conscientiousness, and extraversion) were predictors of helping in different contexts. Suggestions for facilitating helping in SLHs and other settings are provided.
