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
backgroundCommunity-based recovery organizations (e.g., mutual-help groups) can be a potent source of social support that facilitates addiction recovery. To increase awareness of and engagement with these organizations, we developed a digital intervention called Let's Do Addiction Recovery Together! (LDART) for individuals who want to reduce their hazardous alcohol use. LDART encourages daily goal-setting, provides motivational video messages from peers, and provides information on recovery organizations.
methodsWe conducted a single-arm study to evaluate feasibility, acceptability, and preliminary efficacy of LDART. Thirty adults (mean age 44.5 years old, 53.8% women) who wanted to reduce their hazardous alcohol use were invited to use LDART for 28 nights. Participants completed an acceptability survey post-intervention, and a subset were interviewed to provide additional feedback. Measures of recovery organization engagement and alcohol use were collected pre-intervention, post-intervention, and at 1-month post-intervention and summarized using descriptive statistics.
resultsThe recruitment rate was 10 participants per month, and 76.7% of enrolled participants completed the post-treatment assessment. On average, participants accessed LDART on 22.9 out of 28 nights (81.8%). Most participants (81.0%) reported that they would recommend LDART to someone trying to cut down or quit drinking. Participants self-reported more recovery organization engagement and less alcohol consumption during the month they used LDART and the month after completing LDART, relative to the month prior to using LDART.
conclusionsLDART was well-received by adults wanting to reduce drinking, as determined by engagement rates with LDART and acceptability ratings. Preliminary efficacy results warrant further testing of this intervention as a way to increase engagement with recovery organizations and decrease hazardous alcohol use.
