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

Relapse in substance use disorders remains a persistent clinical challenge. Identity reconstruction, the psychological transition from an internalized "addict" identity to a recovery-oriented self, may be a core coping mechanism for abstinence maintenance. This exploratory pilot stratified randomized controlled trial examined the feasibility and preliminary effects of a Narrative Therapy (NT) group intervention, delivered within an evidence-based practice framework. Forty-five male residents of a closed rehabilitation facility were randomly assigned (
