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
backgroundIn Germany, about 3 million children live with at least one parent with substance use disorder (SUD). Those parents face multiple challenges in daily life that concurrently affect their children. The inpatient stay of parents with SUD is seen as a possibility for an intervention (Kontext-Sucht-Intervention), centering on parents’ requests. Therefore, this study focuses on the importance of the topic of parenthood and parents’ perceived needs in inpatient rehabilitative care in Germany.
methodsWe conducted 37 semi-structured interviews with parents with SUD between March and September 2023 in seven inpatient rehabilitative clinics in Germany. Two clinics carried out the Kontext-Sucht Intervention, and we recruited five clinics without structured interventions on parenting to contrastingly explore the needs and derive the meaning of the topic from the parent’s perspective. We analysed the interviews using content-structured qualitative content analysis.
resultThe results show that the topic parenthood is important to parents in inpatient rehabilitative treatment, as they recognise the influence of their disease on the upbringing of their children. Parents identify a gap in the support system, wish for a positive future for their children, and therefore address several parenting-related topics for treatment: e.g., setting boundaries, integration of accompanying children, partnership, single parenting, siblings, and reduction of exhaustion resulting from parenting tasks. They also citicise the lack of specific, structured therapeutic interventions for parents.
conclusionThe findings suggest that there is a need for a parenting-focused intervention in inpatient rehabilitation, which should be provided by the rehabilitation system. The results are in line with general findings on families and substance use disorder purposes in SUD care.
