Assessment of treatment efficacy for codeine-containing cough syrup dependence using single-photon emission computed tomography.
Article in Quantitative imaging in medicine and surgery, 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
Background: Codeine-containing cough syrup (CCS) misuse has become a growing global concern, particularly among young people, due to its potential for dependence. This study aimed to evaluate the efficacy of a comprehensive treatment approach for patients with dependence on CCS and to assess treatment outcomes through single-photon emission computed tomography (SPECT). Methods: This study included 29 patients with CCS dependence and 31 matched controls. SPECT imaging was performed using the radiopharmaceutical agent Results: Patients with CCS dependence exhibited significantly reduced DAT availability in the striatum, as well as decreased V (21.12±5.65 cm Conclusions: The comprehensive treatment approach demonstrated effectiveness in improving clinical and imaging outcomes in patients with CCS dependence. However, complete recovery of striatal DAT availability and related parameters was not achieved for these patients. TRODAT SPECT brain imaging was proven to be a useful imaging modality for assessment of the effectiveness of treatment methods in CCS dependence.
