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

introductionSubstance use disorders (SUDs) are a prevalent issue in the United States (U.S.) and there is a need for innovative treatments to address this public health issue. As of March 2025, there are seven states either approved or in the process of applying for Sect. 1115 Demonstration Waivers to implement pilot contingency management (CM) programs for SUD treatment. This manuscript qualitatively summarizes these Sect. 1115 Demonstration Waivers and the different aspects of each U.S. state's program.

methodsData are from states Sect. 1115 Demonstration Waivers, collected through September 2024 and updated in March 2025. When possible the information has been verified with pilot program managers from each state, and pilot program managers have provided information when possible.

resultsEight states have applied for Sect. 1115 Demonstration Waivers to implement pilot CM programs. Five states have been approved (California, Washington, Montana, Hawaii, and Delaware), two are pending approval (Michigan, and Rhode Island) and one state's CM application was denied (West Virginia). California is the only state to have confirmed implementing the Sect. 1115 Demonstration Waiver funding and has started to review evaluation data. The CM programs covered under Sect. 1115 Demonstration Waivers vary in substance targeted (e.g., stimulants, opioids), length of program (12-64 weeks), amount of incentives ($596-1092), and other characteristics (e.g. incentive delivery type, schedule of reinforcement).

conclusionsSection 1115 Demonstration Waivers addressing SUDs with CM are still new but with the increase in waivers approved, states who wish to apply and receive funding can learn from the approved waivers.
