Real-World Implementation of Contingency Management and Benefits of a Controlled Environment "Head Start".
Article in Brain and behavior, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
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
objectivesTo use quality improvement (QI) principles to implement contingency management (CM) in an outpatient clinic.
methodsPrize-based CM was implemented for stimulant use disorder using standard protocols with QI processes used to improve efficiency and effectiveness.
resultsCM was successfully implemented in an outpatient addictions clinic using clinical funds. Participants who were discharged to the outpatient clinic from a controlled environment (such as hospital, withdrawal management, residential treatment program) had 8.3 (SD = 3.1) weeks of consecutive abstinence (CA) and 10.7 (SD = 1.0) weeks total abstinence.
conclusionsPragmatic clinical implementation of CM yielded results that are comparable to controlled trials in similar populations. QI processes identified that a controlled environment resulted in significant ongoing abstinence.CM was implemented in a small community clinic with no additional funding, and QI principles were used to improve efficiency and effectiveness. The initial implementation of 17 participants yielded a mean of 2.2 (SD = 3.2) weeks of CA. Recent discharge from a controlled environment resulted in 8.3 (3.1) weeks CA.
