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

As the recovery capital framework emerges, we still know little about growth rates in early- and middle-stage recovery. This study aimed to: 1) hypothesize recovery capital growth trajectories via graphical representations employing fitted lines and curves; and 2) generate preliminary recovery capital growth estimates through statistical models that predict monthly and yearly growth in recovery capital scores. We used the Multidimensional Inventory of Recovery Capital (MIRC), a new, psychometrically validated measure, to assess recovery capital on a sample of (n=482) people, as well collecting key control variable data. Regarding Aim 1, graphical plots showed that growth was observed for all forms of capital; however, not for human and cultural capital in the first 12 months. Regarding Aim 2, controlled regression models predict an overall increase of approximately one unit of total recovery capital per year. Social workers and other recovery professionals may use these results to assess and treatment plan.
