Effects of Ecologically-Based Family Therapy with Substance Using, Prostituting Mothers.

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
Studies report that high rates of prostituting women seek substance use treatment, and that most of these women have children in their care. However, compared to non-prostituting women, they show poorer treatment outcomes. Effective intervention for this population is needed, and the current study is the first to test family therapy with mothers seeking substance use treatment, who also reported prostitution. Sixty-eight treatment-seeking women with children in their care were randomly assigned to receive 12 sessions of Ecologically-Based Family Therapy or 12 sessions of individual treatment. Results showed that women who received family therapy reported greater reductions in substance use and depressive symptoms as well as greater improvements in their mother-child interactions. Findings underscore the importance of offering family therapy as a treatment option when prostituting women with children seek substance use treatment.
