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
backgroundA variety of personal and environmental resources (recovery capital: RC) support recovery for adolescents. Social identity theory suggests one's alcohol and other drug (AOD) use behavior is strongly influenced by social network behavior. This study examined how the level of pretreatment substance use was associated with RC and social network characteristics among youth entering inpatient treatment. Understanding these relationships may help inform initial treatment engagement and post-treatment transitions.
methodParticipants (N = 108; Mage=17.1; 61% male; 70% White) completed standardized measures on admission to inpatient treatment: demographics, past 90-day substance use, recovery capital, and social network composition/behavior. Regression analyses were used to examine relationships between AOD use before treatment and (1) recovery capital and (2) level of identification with network groups.
resultsOn average, in the 90 days prior to entry into treatment adolescents consumed alcohol on 20.3 days, used cannabis on 46.5 days, and used other substances (e.g., cocaine) on 17.3 days. The mean RC score was 36.8 (range 25-50). Being male and having more treatment days before baseline were associated with higher RC. Pre-treatment substance use was not consistently associated with RC levels. 70% of participants included at least one family or friend group who used AODs. Participants with a recovery group identified more strongly with that group than with substance-using groups (M=7.28 compared to M=6.63 for groups using substances heavily; scale 0-10).
conclusionsAdolescents appear to have flexible social identities and potentially risky post-treatment relationships, highlighting the need to engage them in recovery-supportive networks following treatment.
