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
Background and Aims: Motivation is an important predictor of outcome in alcohol dependence. This study aimed to translate the Stages of Change Readiness and Treatment Eagerness-Alcohol Version 8A (SOCRATES-8A) scale into Hindi and evaluate its psychometric properties among individuals with alcohol dependence. Methods: This cross-sectional study included 200 outpatient males with alcohol dependence recruited by purposive sampling. The scale was translated into Hindi using forward and back translation and administered to participants. Other scales included Severity of Alcohol Dependence Questionnaire, Patient Health Questionnaire-9, General Anxiety Disorder, and Motivation to Addiction Treatment-Hindi (MAT-H) Scale. Validity and reliability were assessed, and correlation analysis was conducted between the socio-demographic and clinical variables. Results: The findings supported a three-factor structure: Recognition, Ambivalence, and Taking Steps. The Confirmatory Factor Analysis model retained 15 items and revealed good fit indices (CFI = 0.91, TLI = 0.89, and RMSEA = 0.07). Internal consistency was strong for Taking Steps (α =0.89), moderate for Recognition (α =0.69), and lower for Ambivalence (α =0.51). Modest correlation exists between SOCRATES-Hindi and MAT-H scale. Taking Steps showed positive correlation with age of the participant (r = 0.17, Conclusion: The findings suggest that the Hindi version of the scale has acceptable psychometric properties in this population, though further validation across other substances and settings is needed.
