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

Alcohol use disorder (AUD) is a chronic condition marked by compulsive alcohol consumption despite its harmful effects. Harmful alcohol use leads to over 2.6 million deaths annually worldwide. This study assessed the impact of nurse-initiated anonymous coaching sessions on alcohol cravings and motivation to change behavior in alcohol-dependent patients. Over four weeks, 100 participants were divided into experimental and control groups, with the experimental group showing significant reductions in cravings and improvements in motivation. Thus, we show that nurse-led behavioral coaching is an effective, non-pharmacological approach to enhancing AUD recovery.
