Article in Journal of medical case reports, 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
backgroundSimultaneous exit from both drug use and a criminal organization is a difficult and potentially dangerous process for the individual. CASE PRESENTATION: This case report describes the use of the eHealth tool Previct Drugs to support a 27-year-old Caucasian male with substance use disorder in exiting an organized crime gang and achieving both sobriety and a law-abiding lifestyle. The eHealth tool is a smartphone application that provides eye-scanning-based drug screening to promote sobriety, as well as cognitive behavioral therapy and motivational interviewing. A strong therapeutic alliance was rapidly established, supported by continuous insight into the individual's sobriety and mood through the eHealth tool. The individual used the system for 7 months.
conclusionCare could be delivered with precise timing when the individual signaled a need for support, preventing at least one relapse. According to caregiver estimates, use of the eHealth tool accelerated the process of achieving sobriety and exiting the criminal lifestyle by several months.
