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
Psychoactive substance misuse tends to affect the social, economic, and mental health of young adult users and their parents. However, there is currently limited research on the challenges of parents of young adults who misuse psychoactive substances. The stress-strain-coping-support theoretical model was used to assess the challenges parents of young adults who misuse psychoactive substances encounter in Ghana. Based on interpretive phenomenology, we purposively sampled and conducted in-depth interviews with 15 parents from the Adum-Banso Health Centre. Data was processed with NVivo 12 pro data and analysed thematically with four stages of Interpretative Phenomenological Analysis (IPA). The challenges of parents of young adults engaged in psychoactive substance misuse included financial constraints, the onset of negative emotional effects on parents, structural challenges in pursuit of medical treatment, and stigma and discrimination. We have provided empirical data to inform policy decisions on establishing social protection and psychosocial support schemes for young adults misusing psychoactive substances and their parents to enhance the rehabilitation of young adults recovering from the impacts of psychoactive substance misuse.
