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

backgroundWhile caregiver engagement is a critical component of adolescent substance use disorder (SUD) treatment, it is often limited in practice. Existing research on barriers and facilitators to caregiver engagement has predominately focused on clinician perspectives of caregiver engagement. This study sought to synthesize caregivers' perspectives on their involvement in adolescent SUD treatment.

methodsQualitative interviews were conducted with 15 caregivers (including parents and legal guardians) of adolescents who participated in an outpatient SUD treatment program in the past year. A hybrid inductive-deductive coding approach using an iterative and concurrent process was utilized to identify themes related to caregiver engagement.

findingsThematic analysis identified three themes related to caregiver engagement: Caregiver Motivations for Treatment Initiation, Conceptualizations of Caregiver Involvement in Adolescent SUD Treatment, and Barriers and Facilitators of Caregiver Engagement.

conclusionsThere is a need for early substance use screening and intervention development targeting caregivers' motivation and psychoeducation on the benefits of caregiver engagement in adolescent SUD treatment and recovery.
