Navigating Defense Mechanisms in Alcohol Use Disorders: Implications for Psychiatric Mental Health Nursing.
Review in Advances in experimental medicine and biology, 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
This study aims to explore the various defense mechanisms employed by individuals with harmful alcohol use and their implications for psychiatric mental health nursing. Utilizing a literature review methodology, the chapter examines both mature and immature defense mechanisms as classified by Koukias (Principles of psychiatric nursing - mental health nursing (Αρχές ψυχιατρικής νοσηλευτικής - νοσηλευτική ψυχικής υγείας). Broken Hill Publishers LTD, Athens, 2018) in "Principles of Psychiatric Mental Health Nursing." The findings reveal that mature mechanisms, such as altruism and sublimation, can promote healthier coping strategies and emotional resilience, aiding in recovery. Conversely, immature mechanisms like passive aggression, acting out, dissociation, projection, devaluation, and splitting tend to perpetuate dysfunctional behaviors and hinder recovery efforts. Understanding these mechanisms is crucial for developing tailored therapeutic interventions that support long-term sobriety and emotional well-being. This comprehensive approach underscores the importance of integrating psychological insights into clinical practice to enhance treatment outcomes for individuals with alcohol use disorders.
