Group-based interventions for individuals with dual pathology: a preliminary focus group study.
Article in BMC nursing, 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
backgroundDual Pathology has a major impact on the individual's life and on society and is associated with worsening severity and persistence of both mental illness and addiction, which is why scientific evidence increasingly points treatment of patients with Dual Pathology.
objectiveEvaluate how participants in group therapy experience the group and their relationship with the professionals.
methodsA qualitative descriptive study using focus groups was conducted with 12 participants attending a Dual Pathology Group in a psychiatric hospital in Portugal. The data was analyzed using Braun & Clarke's reflective thematic analysis methodology. Transcripts of interview recordings were imported into the MAXQDA 24 qualitative software program for thematic content analysis.
resultsThe results point to the positive contribution of Group teaching carried out by nurses in improving literacy about substance use and psychiatric disorder. The four themes obtained were: Meaning of the Dual Pathology Group; Importance of Healthcare Professionals; Learning and Knowledge Acquisition; Relationship between Alcohol Use and Psychiatric Disorder.
conclusionIncreasing literacy about substance use and psychiatric pathology seems to have an impact on adherence to treatment for patients with Dual Pathology.
