Article in Consortium psychiatricum, 2025. 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.

Abstract
backgroundNew psychoactive substances (NPS) represent a global problem, especially among young people. In Central Asia, while the trafficking in NPS continues to grow, there remains a lack of data on the social, health and psychological consequences of their use.
aimTo investigate the motives behind the NPS use among young people in the Republic of Uzbekistan, as well as the medical and social characteristics of this group.
methodsThe study will include young people (18-35 years) who have used NPS in the preceeding 30 days (on the basis of self-reports) or are undergoing rehabilitation and plan to cease the NPS use within the next 12-18 months. Semi-structured interviews will reveal the reasons for NPS use, risk perception, stigma, barriers to seeking help, and the need for preventive and rehabilitation services. Interviews will take place at the Republican Mental Health Center and two specialized rehabilitation centers in Uzbekistan between November 2024 and the completion of enrollment (25-30 participants), but no later than May 2025. Additionally, a focus group of psychiatrists, psychotherapists, narcologists, and psychologists will evaluate the level of awareness amongst health care professionals as regards of NPS use and its prevalence, medical, and social implications. EXPECTED
resultsThe study will identify the key motives of NPS use, usage patterns, and social and medical barriers of help-seeking. Findings will contribute to the development of prevention and rehabilitation strategies, including digital communication platforms and interactive educational programs.
conclusionThe study focuses on raising awareness about the consequences of NPS in the Republic of Uzbekistan. This is essential for developing effective public health prevention and rehabilitation programs.
