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

Purpose of Review: In this article, we systematically review the research on peer recovery support services (PRSS) for substance use disorder (SUD). Recent Findings: We update our 2019 review on PRSS for SUD, with a focus on quantitative, multi-group studies ( Summary: PRSS can play an important role in the SUD care continuum, particularly in helping individuals initiate and stay engaged with treatment. More work is needed, however, to determine when, where, and over what duration PRSS are most impactful, as well as for whom, and under what conditions PRSS are most beneficial.
