Effect of Personalized Feedback Intervention (PFI) with Fear Appeal on Alcohol Consumption Pattern in Patients with Alcohol-induced Delirium: Protocol of an Open-label Randomized Controlled Trial.
Article in Indian journal of psychological medicine, 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: Alcohol dependence is prevalent, with significant morbidity and mortality linked to alcohol-induced delirium. A new but less studied strategy integrating personalized feedback intervention (PFI) with fear appeal has shown promise in modifying behavior. Novelty: There is limited evidence to suggest that using patients' own videotaped recordings in a delirious state can reduce relapse and enhance abstinence. Our study evaluates the combined effect of both PFI and fear appeal on reducing alcohol use and prolonging abstinence. Objectives: This study aims to evaluate the impact of PFI with fear appeal on alcohol consumption patterns in terms of duration of abstinence and amount of alcohol consumption in patients with delirium. Methods: This open-label randomized controlled trial will recruit 48 patients (purposive sampling) aged >18 years, any gender diagnosed with alcohol-induced delirium at AIIMS Bibinagar. Participants will be assessed for withdrawal severity and delirium using standardized tools. They will be randomly allocated (opaque sealed envelopes) to two groups: (a) PFI with fear appeal (Group 1) and (b) Treatment as usual (TAU, Group 2). Group 1 will receive TAU, along with PFI, and fear appeal, using a video recording of their own delirium symptoms. Intervention will focus on the harmful consequences of alcohol use, aiming to reduce consumption and increase abstinence duration. Group 2 will receive standard pharmacological treatment, along with motivational enhancement therapy (MET) or relapse prevention therapy (RPT). Expected Outcome: Outcomes will be measured through Timeline Follow Back (TLFB) for alcohol consumption and duration of abstinence, with follow-ups at 1 and 3 months.
