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

backgroundIn response to the evident limitations of conventional treatment approaches and the consequent recurrence of alcoholic people admitted with schizophrenia behavior leading to re-hospitalization, a program was instituted at a psychiatric hospital in Thailand. This program aimed to modify alcohol consumption behavior patients undergoing inpatient treatment by incorporating the principles of Bandura's Self-Efficacy Theory.

methodIn this two-group quasi-experimental study, the impact of the Self-efficacy modification program was investigated among alcoholic people admitted with schizophrenia. This study involved two sample groups: an intervention and a control group, each consisting of 32 participants. The intervention group underwent a 5-week intervention featuring 14 group therapy activities, where the control group received a usual treatment. Data analysis employed descriptive statistical methods and involved comprehensive questionnaire data collection across four dimensions i.e. Stages of change readiness and treatment eagerness scale (Socrates-8 A), Severity of alcohol dependence questionnaire (SADQ), Alcohol abstinence self-efficacy scale (AASE), Brief psychiatric rating scale (BPRS). Data were analyzed using independent and paired samples t-tests, with a significant level of 0.05.

resultsThe paired t-tests conducted on changes in Socrates 8 A and AASE scores before and after the intervention program demonstrated a significant increase in scores, coupled with a decrease in BPRS scores, with all findings indicating a statistically significant difference (p-value < 0.001).

conclusionThis modification program could serve as an alternative intervention for alcoholic people admitted with schizophrenia. Policymakers should support training initiatives to equip mental health professionals with the skills needed to enhance self-efficacy in alcoholic patients with schizophrenia.
