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

backgroundParenting and substance use recovery often intersect, as many adults accessing substance use disorder (SUD) treatment are also parents. Critically, parental SUDs are a risk factor for poorer parenting behaviors, with downstream impacts on child mental health. However, extant evidence-based interventions do not target proximal, parent-specific relapse risk factors (e.g., parental emotion dysregulation [ED], parenting stress), and relapse risk remains high. We sought to address this by integrating best practices in SUD, ED, and parenting interventions to expand reach and improve outcomes.

methodsThis pilot study assessed feasibility, acceptability, and preliminary efficacy of a 20-week Dialectical Behavior Therapy Skills + Parent Training (DBT Skills + PT) telehealth group intervention for parents in SUD remission with elevated ED. Participants were 12 parents (11 mothers) of preschool-aged children (5 female).

resultsIntervention feasibility (i.e., attendance, attrition, diary card compliance) and acceptability (i.e., satisfaction, skills use) were high. All treatment-completers maintained their SUD remission and reported large reductions in ED, child behavior problems, negative parenting behaviors, and parenting stress. Quantitative results were corroborated by qualitative feedback provided at an exit interview.

conclusionsThe present findings support further larger scale testing of DBT Skills + PT as a promising intervention for parents in SUD remission with elevated ED, with prospective intergenerational impacts.
