Article in Industrial psychiatry journal. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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.

Aim: To assess the effectiveness of Tele-Counseling as a mode of continuing care for patients with alcohol dependence syndrome. Materials and Methods: An open-label randomized control trial was conducted with 78 male participants. Patients with severe mental disorders or cognitive impairments were excluded. Participants received standard care treatments and were randomly assigned to either the Tele-Continuing Care (TCC) group or the Treatment as Usual (TAU) group. 1) 'Telephone Continuing Care ' group (TCC) who received pro-active contact and counseling through mobile phones from the treatment team on the 1 Results: The mean age of participants was 41.38 ± 9.06 years, with the majority being married. A higher percentage of patients in the TAU group had higher education qualifications compared to the TCC group. Duration of treatment adherence was significantly ( Conclusion: As Tele-Counselling Care in our study showed partial effectiveness in improving the outcome measures, research should focus on improvising further to strengthen the Tele-Counselling model, especially in resource crunch Low- and Middle-Income countries and this could be included in the armamentarium of alcohol de-addiction program.
