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
backgroundIndividuals with Alcohol Use Disorder (AUD) and Substance Use Disorder (SUD) face significant challenges at personal, familial, and social levels. Temperament and character traits play a key role in addictive behaviors, yet their relationship with music preferences in these patients has rarely been examined. This study explores the relationship between temperament-character traits and music preferences in AUD or SUD patients.
methodsThis cross-sectional study included 351 patients diagnosed with AUD or SUD, who were receiving treatment at the Inpatient Detoxification Centre (IDC). All participants completed the Sociodemographic Data Form, Music Preferences Questionnaire (MPQ), Temperament and Character Inventory (TCI), and Addiction Profile Index (API).
resultsThe participants were classified into three distinct clusters as determined by cluster analysis. Cluster 1 comprised individuals demonstrating a preference for high-energy and modern styles (n = 53), while most subjects (n = 246) were included in the cluster characterized by low interest and fantasy arabesque preferences (Cluster 2). Cluster 3 consisted of subjects with broad and balanced preferences (n = 52). There were no significant sociodemographic differences among the clusters, but significant variations in personality traits were found, particularly in novelty seeking, reward dependence, and cooperativeness. Alcohol users preferred Classical Turkish music (p <.005), while substance users favoured Hip-hop/Rap (p <.005) and Techno/Electronic music (p <.005). A weak but significant positive correlation was found between Hip-hop/Rap preference and educational status (ρ = 0.179, p = .001). Similarly, Classical Turkish Music preference showed a weak positive correlation with age (ρ = 0.263, p < .001).
conclusionsIn conclusion, AUD or SUD patients have low interest in music types and limited musical tastes. It has been observed that there is a relationship between these patients' novelty seeking and cooperativeness traits and their music preferences, and that individuals prefer certain music types more than others, depending on their diagnosis with weak additional associations with demographic factors, particularly age and educational level.
